Jamerum, and Tabachin to Yacoruary in phratry A. Again, 

 Yungalla corresponds to Chingulum, Urwalla to Chooralum, 

 Uwungaree to Bungarin, and Uwallaree to Palyarin, in Phratry B. 

 All that has been said in the foregoing pages in regard to the 

 Wonibya tribe, represented in Tables Nos. 3 and 4, applies equally 

 in every respect to the sections and phratries illustrated in Table 

 No. 5. 



A brief reference to the geographic distribution of the tribes 

 adopting each type of organisation dealt with in this article may 

 not be without interest. The country inhabited by the people of 

 the Wombya type of division comprises about three-fourths of the 

 Northern Territory of South Australia, with extensive regions in 

 Queensland and Western Australia. The territory occupied by 

 tribes possessing the Kamilaroi system extends over about two- 

 thirds of New South Wales, the greater part of Queensland, a 

 wide zone through the centre of South Australia, and more than 

 half of Western Australia. The Parnkalla organisation includes 

 nearly the whole of Victoria, about a third of New South Wales 

 part of Queensland, and a considerable portion of Western Aus- 

 tralia and South Australia. 



Among the tribes on the south-east coast of New South Wales 

 and Victoria, the southern coast of South Australia, part of the 

 west coast of Western Australia, and a tract of country reaching 

 inland easterly and southerly from Port Darwin, in the Northern 

 Territory, the Tooar type of organisation is in force, with various 

 modifications.
