HORN EXPEDITION—ANTHROPOLOGY. 
13 
Seventy miles north of Alice Springs the Arunta territory meets that of the 
Chitchika who occupy the country about Anna’s Reservoir, the Woodforde Creek 
and Central Mount Stuart. Their language differs slightly from that of the 
Arunta, but spoken conversation can be carried on, and the two tribes are on 
visiting terms. 
At Central Mount Stuart the Chitchika march on the Kaitish who inhabit 
the strip of country lying between Mount Stuart and the Wickliffe Creek to the 
north. The Kaitish language differs from that of the Aruntas though there are 
some words in common. 
To the west of Mount Stuart and along the western boundary of the Kaitish 
are the Wolperis, who extend northwards as far as the parallel of Tennants Creek 
Telegraph Station and possibly further, though their territory does not reach the 
overland line. 
The Dixon Creek is the southern limit of the Warramungas, a tall, active, 
warlike and ill-favoured tribe, which extends northwards as far as Renner’s 
Springs. It was at Attack Creek, which lies between these limits, that this 
tribe checked Stuart’s progress in 1860. They speak a language different from 
any of the preceding. These three tribes, the Kaitish, Wolperis and Warramungas 
occasionally foregather on the Dixon. 
North of the Warramungas is the Chingala or Chingali tribe, of which 
Newcastle Waters occupies a central position. Their territory extends southwards 
to Powell’s Creek Telegraph Station, northwards to Daly Waters, eastwards about 
one hundred miles, and westwards about seventy miles. North of them are the 
Wombai. 
Eastwards of the Wickliffe are the Ilyowera, who run northwards and are 
bounded on the east by the Waagai, a powerful tribe, whose limits are not known. 
They occasionally make raids upon the Warramungas, and it was they who, a few 
years ago, attacked the Frew River Station. 
Immediately to the south of the Aruntas is a group of tribes around Lake 
Eyre, the distribution of which is delineated by Mr. Howitt in a map which forms 
the frontispiece to Vol. XX. of the Journal of the Anthropological Institute. Of 
these the most important is the Dieyerie, or as Mr. Howitt writes it the Dieri
