DIVISIONS OF SOME ABORIGINAL TRIBES, QUEENSLAND. 113 



For the purpose of showing the equivalence of the eight sections 

 represented in Tables Nos. 5, 6, and 7, it is desirable to introduce 

 the eight divisions reported by the Rev. L. Schulze in 1891. * I 

 tabulated this gentleman's investigations, with some modifications, 

 last year, 2 but in order to bring the section names mentioned by 

 him into corresponding positions with those under consideration 

 in the present article, I have re-arranged them as under. The A 

 phratries in each table are equivalent to each other, as well as the 

 sections of which they consist ; and all the B phratries likewise 

 correspond in the same way.

The names of the sections of the Warramonga tribe are practi- 

 cally identical with those referred to by Mr. Schulze. If we adopt 

 the same numerals as in Table No. 8, the equivalence of the 

 Warramonga divisions will be as follows: — 1, Ungarria; 2, Taka- 

 mara; 3, Taponunga; 4, Ambajona or Jambean; 5, Jungulla; 6, 

 Tapongatee; 7, Joopalla; 8, Cubadgee. The intermarriages of 

 these sections, and the descent of the offspring, follow precisely 

 the same order as those in Table No. 8. In preparing the amended 

 list of names of sections, and rules of intermarriage of the Warra- 

 monga tribe, 1 wish to acknowledge the willing help afforded by 

 Mr. W. Beattie. 



Each phratry has perpetual succession, and is sustained entire, 

 by means of its women. In Tables 1 to 8 of this article, the 

 section names of which the phratry consists are in all cases those
