At the junction of the Rankine with the Georgina River — on 

 Barklay's Tableland — and on the sources of the Gregory and its 

 tributaries, are the hunting grounds of the Inchalachee and 

 Warkya tribes — the latter extending westerly as far as Lake 

 Sylvester. They are divided into eight sections, which constitute 

 two phratries, comprising four sections each. The intermarriage 

 of these divisions, and the sections to which the resulting offspring 

 belong, will be easily understood when arranged in tabular form :

 westerly along the Gulf of Carpentaria are the Yangarilla, 

 Wahnyee, Yookala, and friendly tribes, bearing the eight sec- 

 tional names reported by me to this Society last year. 1
