COMPARATIVE VOCABULARY 



THREE OF THE LANGUAGES OF THE SOUTH-EAST COAST OF 

 NEW GUINEA AND THE LOUISIADE ARCHIPELAGO. 



The materials composing the following Vocabulary are 

 arranged in three columns^ according to the localities 

 where they were obtained. 



I. Redscar Bay (on the S.E. coast of New Guinea^ in 

 lat. 9° 17' S. and long. 146° 53' E.), and its neighbourhood. 



II. Brumer Island (on the S.E. coast of New Guinea, 

 in lat. 10° 45' S. and long. 150° 22' E.), and its neigh- 

 bourhood; also Dufaure Island (about 40 miles to the 

 westward) . When the same word was given at both these 

 places, I have indicated this circumstance by the letter h 

 placed after the word ; those procured at Dufaure Island 

 only are marked by the letter D. 



III. Brierly Island (Louisiade Archipelago, in lat. 11° 

 20' S. and long. 153° 9' E.) ; also a few words, distia- 

 guished by the letter D, procured at the Duch^teau Isles 

 from natives of some neighbouring islands of the Calvados 

 Group.
