or Chimitcha as No. IV. But it is immaterial to the 

 descent of the offspring which of these men she marries ; 

 her children are Taralee just the same, because the devolu- 

 tion of the sections as well as of the cycles is unalterably 

 through the mother only. 



From a list supplying the details of upwards of twenty 

 marriages among members of the Chingalee tribe, person- 

 ally known to my correspondent, I have selected the 

 following eight individuals or four married pairs as examples

This table is the same in structure as Table II. No. 1, 

 Long Dick, a Chungalee, marries No. 1a, Minnie, a Chula, 

 and their children are Tungaree. On the same line to the 

 left of Dick we find Tungaree, the name of his mother's 

 section. And in the next column to the left is Champina, 

 the section to which Dick's father belongs, and so on for

 have No. II wives. It may be mentioned that Table IV,
