Compiled fmm Ethnographical Works in the Australian Museum Library, 1909. By W. W. THORPE, Ethnologist. I.-INTRODUCTION. This compilation was originally intended as a hand-list for­ personal reference, to enable the writer to see at a glance the approximate, if not the definite, locality of any given Tribe. without having to search through the literature of the subject. As the title implies, the matter was derived from Ethno­ graphical works in the Australian Museum Library, but to these are added, or interpolated, a few obtained from other reliable sources. A Bibliography of the works consulted is given at the end. As to Synonyms :-The writer has tried to make cr08S­ references to obviously identical Tribes. In this connection, the various phonetic interpretations placed upon tribal names· by different authorities,- resulting in many spellings of the same word -ill'~orlis._are__ I'emarkable. Although upwards of six hundred names are in the list, the synonymy would reduce it by ten or fi fteen per cen t. The useful abbreviations adopted by Dr. W. E. Roth in his Ethnographical works have been included. It is obvious that the Catalogue is far from complete, many Tribes ha~ing passed into oblivion before being recorded, while others may have yet to be discovered. It is possible that aD occasional dialectal name has been included, but this is unavoidable. Where two: hyphened localities are giv.en, the intention is to show that 1;he Tribes are, or were, situated in the intervening areas. 12 AUSTRALIAN TRIBAL NAMES-THORPE. 163.. H,-CATALOGUE. "REF.

  • Chapter 13: Broken River Catchment
    13 Broken River Catchment Argus, 15 January 1924 True Tales of the Trout Cod: River Histories of the Murray-Darling Basin 13-1 NORTHERN BLACKFISH Noting J. T. Anderson’s remarks on the subject, “R.G.K.” (Richmond) says that he has just had a “fortnight’s fishing in the Broken River and various creeks around Lima (via Benalla) Although he had good sport with Murray cod, bream (Macquarie perch), and catfish, which he remarks is a far finer table fish than is generally realised, he noticed, too, how numerous were the blackfish. He must have hooked over a hundred, but returned them all to the river, as according to the Game Laws, they may not be kept under 8 inches, and very few of these were eight inches, many as small as four inches. Had “R.G.K.” known, he might have kept these fish, because an exception is made about them. The regulation reads:- “Blackfish, except those in streams flowing north from the Great Dividing Range, 8 1/2 inches.” These blackfish are a smaller species or variety, and the Fisheries department imposes no conditions in regard to them.

  • Lower Cretaceous Fossils from the Sources of the Barcoo, Ward And
    LOWER CRETACEOUS FOSSILS FROM THE SOURCE8 OF THE BARCOO, WARD AND NIV E RIVERS SOUTH OENTRAL QUEENSLA~D. PART II.l-CEPHALOPODA. By R. ETHERIDGE, JUNR., Curator. (Plates xxx.-xlix., and Fig. 8.) I.-IN'l'RODUC'l'ION. The" Ammonites" proper contained in Mr. H. \V. Blomfield's collection are few in nnmber', and will be noticed in a later part of this Memoir. The following descriptions of the "Crioceri" are offered with a considerable amsmnt of diffidence, and to arrive at these results I found it impemtive to undertake a general review of our Cretaceous forms hitherto associated with the names CTioceras and Ancylocera8; the outcome of this work, extending over many months, is t~ my mind, I regret to say, anything but satisfactory. This arises from two primary causes, the frag­ mentary state in which the fossils are frequently found, and the difficulty experienced in grouping ~uch portions, from many and "widely separated localities, in well dlefined species. A secondary cause is due to the fact that many of the hitherto described forms are based on portions of shells only, and in two instances at least the descriptions are so inadequate that recognition of the species is practically reduced to gue~s work. In no instance is this more apparent than in that of Cl·iocemB australe, Moore, the Australian type of the group. To render my investigations as complete as possible, I assembled all the specimens of the above two genera within my reach, and drew upon the following collections, as well as onr own :-The Mining and Geological, and Macleay Museums, ~ydney; National Museum, Melbourne; Geological Survey, and Queensland Museums, Brisbane; Geological Survey Collection, Adelaide; and the Sweet Collection, Melbourne.

    ROYAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF QUEENSLAND JOURNAL Volume XV, No.l February 1993 THE WORLD OF THE BAMA Aboriginal-European Relations in the Cairns Rainforest Region to 1876 by Timothy Bottoms (All Rights Reserved) Presented to the Society as an Audio-Visual Program 10th August 1991 The world of the Djabugay-Yidiny [Jabuguy-Yidin] speaking people occupied what is now called the Cairns rainforest region. Their term for themselves is BAMA [Bum-ah] — meaning 'people'. To the south are Dyirbal [Jirrbal] speaking tribes who are linguistically different from their northern Yidiny-speakers, as German is to French. There appears to have been quite a deal of animosity' between these linguistically different neighbours. To the north are the Kuku-Yalanji [Kookoo Ya-lan-ji] who seem to have a great deal more in common with their southern Djabugay- speaking neighbours. In the northern half of the Cairns rainforest region are the Djabugay-speaking tribal groupings; the Djabuganydji [Jabu-ganji], the Nyagali [Na-kali], the Guluy [Koo-lie], the Buluwanydji [Bull-a- wan-ji], and on the coastal strip, the Yirrganydji [Yirr-gan-ji].^ The clans within each tribal grouping spoke dialects of Djabugay — so that, although there were differences, they were mutually understandable.^ The southern half of the Cairns rainforest region is home to the linguistically related Yidiny-speaking people. Fifty- three percent of the Yidiny lexicon is derived from Djabugay." However in the same fashion as the Djabugay-speakers — each clan, and there are many in each tribe,^ considered itself an entity in its own right, despite the linguistic affinities. The tribes who spoke Yidiny-related dialects were the Gungganydji [Kung-gan-ji], the Yidinydji [Yidin-ji], the Madjanydji [Mad-jan-ji], and Wanjuru.

    CSIRO PUBLISHING Historical Records of Australian Science, 2021, 32, 67–82 https://doi.org/10.1071/HR20014 A re-examination of William Hann’s Northern Expedition of 1872 to Cape York Peninsula, Queensland Peter Illingworth TaylorA and Nicole Huxley ACorresponding author. Email: [email protected] William Hann’s Northern Expedition set off on 26 June 1872 from Mount Surprise, a pastoral station west of Townsville, to determine the mineral and agricultural potential of Cape York Peninsula. The expedition was plagued by disharmony and there was later strong criticism of the leadership and its failure to provide any meaningful analysis of the findings. The authors (a descendent of Norman Taylor, expedition geologist, and a descendent of Jerry, Indigenous guide and translator) use documentary sources and traditional knowledge to establish the role of Jerry in the expedition. They argue that while Hann acknowledged Jerry’s assistance to the expedition, his role has been downplayed by later commentators.
