NOTES ON SOME NATIVE DIALECTS OF VICTORIA. 951 
languages are named after the negative adverb, as men- 
tioned in an earlier paragraph of the present article. 
THE YABULA-YABULA DIALECT. 
This language is spoken on both sides of the river Murray, 
from Echuca downwards for some distance. Itisa dialect 
of the Yota-yota, a portion of the grammar of which I 
briefly outlined last year.t. Both these tribes are located 
partly in Victoria and partly in New South Wales. Although 
more or less different in vocabulary, the declensions of the 
nouns and adjectives are substantially the same in the 
Yabula-yabula as in the Yota-yota, and will therefore be 
omitted in this paper. But I succeeded in obtaining much 
fuller lists of pronouns ofa varied and interesting character 
which I should like to publish for comparison with primitive 
languages in other parts of the world. Yabula means ‘‘no.”’ 
PRONOUNS.

sitive verbs, and another set for intransitive verbs, as in
