NOTES ON SOME ABORIGINAL TRIBES. 83 



two of Chimitcha's possible wives and two of his possible 

 families belong to one phratry and two of his possible wives 

 and families to the other phratry. There cannot therefore 

 be any partition of the community into two exogamous 

 moieties. 



Another point of interest in the sociology of the Chingalee 

 tribe, which has escaped the notice of other investigators, 

 consists of the fact that there are two sets of names for 

 the sections — one set being used from birth to puberty and 

 another set which is adopted from puberty onward through 

 life. The first may be distinguished as the "temporary" 

 and the second as the "final" nomenclature. That is, the 

 section name of every male and every female who has 

 passed through the ceremonies connected with the attain- 

 ment of puberty is amended or changed altogether. 



Looking at Table III of this article, a few examples will 

 be given. The "final" section name Chimitcha is known 

 as Chukaday from birth to puberty; Champachina as Tam- 

 palilly; ChungaleeasChukala; Taralee is known as Tapala, 

 and so on for the rest. 



I have also discovered two sets of names among the 

 Inchalanchee tribe in the north-west district of Queensland. 

 Referring to the table published in this Journal in 1898, 

 Vol. xxxn., pp. 251 -252, the following are a few of the 

 "temporary" forms of the section names given in that 

 table. From birth to puberty Narachee is used instead 

 of Burralanjee; Boonongoona instead of Kommeranjee- 

 Warkee instead of Narrabalanjee; Thimmermill is the 

 temporary form of Yakamurri, etc. In Western Australia 

 there are similar double forms of the section names. 



For the purpose of showing that the descent of the totems 

 does not follow the father in the Chingalee, Warramonga, 

 Binbingha and adjacent tribes, 1 have tabulated a list of 

 Chingalee natives with whom my correspondents are
