164 R. H. MATHEWS. 
The little Mathas will grow up to puberty, and in turn produce 
Kubbis and Kubbithas. It is therefore apparent that the section 
Matha produces Kubbitha, and Kubbitha produces Matha in the 
next generation, and so on continually, hence the group Dilbi has 
perpetual succession through the Dilbi women. Again, if Matha 
be of the totem padamelon, her children will be Kubbi and Kub- 
bitha padamelons; and the little Kubbithas, on arriving at woman- 
hood will likewise have children who will be padamelons, showing 
that the totems are perpetuated in precisely the same manner as 
the group to which they belong. If an Ippatha or a Butha had 
been taken for the above example, it could have been similarly 
demonstrated that the Kupathin group, with the totems attached 
to it, has perpetual succession through the Kupathin women. 
It is obvious that the Dilbi totems are common to the two sections 
Murri and Kubbi, and are independent of the dual naming of the 
group. In other words, a man of the padamelon totem may be @ 
Murri or a Kubbi, according to who his mother was, but he is 
always a Dilbi, the name of the group to which his totem is 
attached. For example, the padamelon belongs to Matha in one 
generation, and to her daughter Kubbitha in the next, therefore 
this totem must be common to these two divisions. This applies 
to all the Dilbi totems. In a similar manner it can be shown that 
any Kupathin totem is common to the Ippai and Kumbo sections, 
particulars of which the reader can work out for himself. 
Although as before stated the name and totem of the father is 
not directly considered in naming the children, it is nevertheless 
necessary to show his important position in the genealogy. By 
referring to Table A it will appear that if Murri marry Butha, his 
children are Ippai and Ippatha ; but if he select a Matha as his 
wife, his children will be Kubbi and Kubbitha. We find by 
table A that Ippai and Kubbi are the only men who can marry 
a Kubbitha, and as Murri is the father of these men, as just 
shown, it is evident that he provides husbands for the women 
belonging to the other section in his group. The children of these 
women are the grandsons of Murri, and also belong to his own
