172 R. H. MATHEWS. 
offspring belong to the section Ippai and totem mallee-hen in one 
generation, and to the section Oombi and totem common fly in 
the next, it necessarily follows that each section must have its 
own independent group of totems. In other words, a certain 
group of totems must be known by the general name of Ippai ; 
another group must be called Kumbo; another group Murri, and 
another Kubbi. This is different to the Kamilaroi type, in which 
a group of totems is common to the pair of sections, Ippai and 
Kumbo, and another group to the Murri and Kubbi pair. 
In the Wiradjuri tribes Murri and Ippai of the same generation 
stand in the mutual affinity to each other of “ brothers-in-law,” 
and the same relationship subsists between Kubbi and Oombi. 
Murri and Kubbiare connected reciprocally as “mother’s brother” 
and “sister’s son,”—or using our own equivalent names—as uncle 
and nephew, according to their place in the generation to which 
they belong; and Ippai and Oombi stand in the same mutual 
relationship. The nominal relationship subsisting between a father 
and his family is the same as already described in regard to the 
Kamilaroi. 
The totemic regulations to which I referred in dealing with the 
Kamilaroi tribes are also found among these Wiradjuri people, by 
means of which a man may marry into one or more of the sections, 
including his own, under certain totemic restrictions, the effect of 
which will be seen on inspection of the following table, which 
shows the intermarriage and descent of four totems belonging to 
each of the four sections. 
The wives allowed by the sectional rules, “ Murri marries 
Ippatha,” &c., are first given, followed by the women a man is 
permitted to marry under the family regulations before described. 
It is apparent by this table that one totem is always the mother 
of a certain distinct totem bearing a different name.
