The term for "great-grandmother" and "great-grand- 

 father" is the same as that for "son" and "daughter." 

 In all tribes I have found that the fourth generation begins 

 thus, and if a fifth generation should arise, with a member 

 of each living, the term for "great-great-grandfather" will 

 be mama, and for "great-great-grandmother" wi:a. The 

 sequence of generations runs thus: — 



Daughter, u:ndal. Son, wandi, ka5a. 



Mother: wi:a. Father, mama. 



Grandmother, kabarli. Grandfather, #amu, bogali. 



Great-grandmother, u : ndaL Great-grandfather, ka5a. 



Great - great - grandfather, 



Great - great 



- grandmother, 



wi : a . 





Great - great 



- great - grand- 



mama. 

 Great - great - great - grand- 

 mother, kabarli. father, #amu. 



I have known two families of four generations — one in 

 the Eucla area and the other in the Nor' -west— and in each 

 family the great-grandmother was called by the name for 

 "daughter." 



Several of the relationship terms given above are 

 identical or almost so with those of the Luritcha Tribe 

 recorded in Messrs. Spencer and Gillen's work, "Native Tribes 

 of Central Australia." This tribe is shown in the map (p. 3) 

 as occupying the country between the Finke and its north- 

 west tributaries and Lake Amadeus. [ju'lu : ridja] is the 

 name applied to the Luritcha [lu : ritja] by the [jaga' yu :ri].
