to be merely variationa of the Wiradiirei Kgnn, gun. Aa 3 ia 2, 1, 

 or 1, 2, ngoro probably representa 1 (the term for 2 haviDg beeii 

 dropped) and ia identical Tvith tho kol of 1. This is confirmed by 

 the WoMondilly 3, in wMcb kol appears (koll-uer) and the 

 Karaula 3 (knl-eba). 3^he Perth g-udjalf 2, (gyn 1) is fonned 

 from the 3d. pronoim in g or ng precisely as the S. Australian 

 p^'^rt 2 ia from tbe labial 8rd pron, Kul, gal, kar, gar, gur, ngar, 

 ngor are found as terms for 1 or representing it in higher mmi- 

 bers in different languages. In Kamilarai gala, gira, arc used for 

 the assertive absolute as well as the labial definitive. The guttural 

 without the liquid postfix is found as an element in several 

 systems, EaiEes Bay, lo^^ 1, ori^rt 2, Corio Aat-moil Ij Moreton 

 Bay ia-marah 1 (the same compound), Jhongworong A'«-p, 1, (pro- 

 bably a contraction of a similar term) 1. The Encounter Bay 

 ki-ttfe " he '* &c. appears to be another instance of tbe full 

 gutturalizing of the ngi preserved in Wiradurei, and analogous to 

 the Perth gyn which also retains tho slender vowel. The En- 

 counter Bay dual kengk appears to be a reduplication (the Ist and 

 2nd pronouns take dual postfixes -le, -^urle), Tbe plural k-ar baa 

 the proper dual form. The Australiaji guttural unit explains the 

 KollO(gel,gil,gul). 



2. The E- Australian bula, bul-ea, bulo-ara, pul-ar, and the 

 Kortheru la-wit-bari appear to have the Kol bar, bar-ia, bar-m &c. 

 The JIairasi a-mui, Bruner I. la-mui, have a abgular resemblance 

 to the Kol moi, Binua mui 1., They are varieties of the root 

 found in Menado bua, Tidore ma-h-foiig ; bu-lango Goront., pahi- 

 wo liOius., bo Hunia, buiu Tupua, iu Gfallia. In Australian the 

 tem appears, in some cases at least, to be tbe dual of tho labial 

 8rd pronoun and demonstrativo. For example, in South Austra- 

 lian pa is " be " &c., idonticnJ with the Dravirian va, (ba, pa «&c), 

 and la, dla, dli, rk, urJa &c are forms of tho dual postfix. The 

 dual of pa is purla [i. e. pa-«r2a]. The dual of the demon- 

 etrative ia (Drav.) is a double forma i-dl-urla^ In the posaeaaivo 

 of the 2nd pronoun the dual ia also compound ni-fi* '* thou," 

 m-wa " jou^wOf'* n-a « you," ni-M?«-rf?«-ko " you-/(£'i?-*t(?o-of." In 

 ieveral languages tho numeral " two " and the dual postfix is a com- 

 pound similar to the S. Aust. p-urk, " it«two," (i. e. they-two"). 

 The Kamilarai "bulmm and Peel Eiv. ^u-kr are double fonni like
