AUSTRALIAN DIVISIONAL SYSTEMS. 87 



The equivalence of the Alice Springs and Warramonga tribes 

 is as follows : — Bultara corresponds to Kabatjee ; Pungata to 

 Apungata ; Parulla to Tungulli ; Ngala to Opalla ; Koomara to 

 Akamarra ; Mbutjana to Ampatjona ; Panungka to Aponunga ; 

 Knurraia to Ungary. It is evident therefore that the group 

 Mattiri is equivalent to the four sections of group A of the Alice 

 Springs and Warramonga tribes respectively; and that Karraru 

 corresponds to group B of each of these communities. 



In June, 1887, Mr. David Lindsay stated that the Warramunga 

 tribe occupied the country lying between Tennant's Creek and 

 Powell's Creek, N.T., and for a considerable distance on each side 

 of the Overland Telegraph line. He was also the first to report 

 that they had an unusually large number of divisions regulating 

 the intersexual relations. 1
