Palmer's statement above referred to, and partly owing to Mr. 

 Howitt's conclusions, I assumed that these tribes had paternal 

 descent. 1 On making further enquiries of some natives of Jon- 

 daryan run, who belong to this organisation, the following arrange- 

 ment of the divisions was arrived at — the spelling being in accord 

 with the pronounciation of my native informants. 



Husband 



Wife 



Sons. 



Daughters 



Djerwine 



Bandjooran 



Barrang 



Barrangan 



Bunda

When travelling among the tribes on the head waters of the 

 Clarence, Richmond, Dumaresq and Condamine rivers, I found 

 the rules of marriage and descent somewhat different to those 

 obtaining farther north, particulars of which are given in the 

 following table : — 



Husband Wife Offspring 



Terra wine Barrang Banjoor 



Bunda Banjoor Barrang 



Barrang Terrawine Bunda 



Banjoor Bunda Terrawine 



Terrawine and Bunda are the equivalents of Ippai-Kumbo, and 

 Barrang-Banjoor of Murri-Kubbi. 



In the article published by Mr. Palmer in 1883 he gave the 

 sectional divisions of the Mycoolon and Myappe tribes on the 

 Saxby and Cloncurry Rivers, with the laws of marriage and 

 descent which he tabulated as follows : — 2
