It is seen by this table that the sons of one group marry the 

 daughters of the other in a certain fixed rotation ; and that a 

 brother's son's children intermarry with a sister's son's children. 

 Groups A and B, and the sections of which they are composed, 

 are respectively equivalent to the A and B groups tabulated by 

 me on page 75 of this volume. 1 The particulars from which the 

 above table is prepared were supplied to me by Mr. Shadforth. 



My son, who has travelled over the greater part of North 

 Queensland, informs me that among the blacks on the Johnstone 

 River, which flows into the ocean between Cairns and Cardwell, 

 there are two divisions known as Koorabunna and Kooragula. 2 The 

 former is equivalent to Wootaroo, and the latter to Yungaroo of 

 the Kogai-Yuipera nation. 



The following are some of the totems of the Koorabunna people : 

 Fish-hawk, scrub turkey, lizard, oyster, bloodwood, mangrove, tea- 

 tree, sun, daylight, white cockatoo, salt-water perch, large turtle, 

 stingaree, canoe, boomerang, fish-hooks and lines, white paint, 

 fresh water. 



Among the totems of the Kooragula division are the under- 

 mentioned animals, plants, and personal effects : — Native com- 

 panion, saltwater, alligator, wattle tree, ironbark, tomahawk, dilly 

 bag, spear, wallaby, black snake, crow, jackass, shark, red paint, 

 spear, night. 



Between the people just referred to and Halifax Bay, and on 

 Hinchinbrook and the Palm Isles, are some tribes bearing the four 

 section names reported by Mr. E. M. Ourr in 1886, namely, 



1 Journ. Eoy. Soc. N.S. Wales, xxxn., 75, 76. 



2 My informant states that in some parts of the district he observed a 

 third division, named Koorameenya, but he had not time to complete his 

 investigations.
