336 R. H. MATHEWS. 
vocabularies are almost identical. Adjoining the Ngawrugu 
on part of the west was the Walgalu, and westerly again of 
the latter was the Dhudhuroa, a grammar and vocakulary 
of whose language I shall publish later on. On part of the 
south, the Ngarrugu was bounded by the Birdhawalstribe, 
whose language and initiation ceremonies have been 
reported by me.’ West of the Birdhawal and south-west 
of the Ngarrugu the Kurnai language was spoken, a gram- 
mar and vocabulary of which I published in 1902.” It should 
be mentioned that between the Ngarrugu and the sea coast 
are a number of tribes, whose initiation ceremonies and 
dialects have been dealt with by me in various Journals. 
The tribal name, Dhudhuroa has been erroneously reported 
as ‘‘Theddora’’ by some writers. Walgalu as “* Wolgal,’’ 
and Birdhawal as ‘* Biduelli.”’ 
NGARRUGU VOCABULARY. 
This vocabulary contains about 260 words collected 
personally among the remnant of the Ngarrugu natives in 
the Monaro district, New South Wales. Instead of arrang- 
ing the words alphabetically they are placed together under 
separate headings. As the equivalents of English terms 
will most frequently be required they are put first.
