374 ACCOUNT OF THE ENGLISH COLONY [October, 



bour-bil-liey pe-mul, buried in the earth, and that others were thrown 

 into the fea. 



The natives, when fpeaking of the lofs of this tooth, always ufed 

 the words Yoo-lahng erah-ba-diahng ; but to denote that of any 

 other, bool-bag-ga was applied. The term Yoo-lahng erah-ba-diahng 

 mud therefore be confidered as applying folely to this occafion ; it 

 appears to be compounded of the name given to the fpot where the 

 principal fcenes take place, and of the mod material qualification that 

 is derived from the whole ceremony, that of throwing the fpear. This 

 is conceived to be the import of the word erah-ba-diahng, erah being 

 a part of the verb to throw, erah, throw you, erailley, throwing.
