The name is spelled Bctlgu by Clement, Pulgoe by Witbnell, and Balgoo by "Yabaroo." BAIONG.-On the lower portioni of the Minilya and Lyndon Rivers. Biong in "Yabaroo." BINIGURA.-On1 the north side of the Ashburton River about Duck Creek. Binnigora in " Yabaroo." BUDUNA or BURDUNA.-On the Henry River (a tributary of the Ashburton) and the upper portion of the Lyndon River. Poordoona in "Yabaroo." CHURORO.-On the , a tributary of the Ashburton. Chooraroo in " Yabaroo." IBARGA.-On the . INA-WONGA.-On the Ashburton River above the Churoro. INGARDA.-On the coast between the and the Wooramel Rivers. Curr, page 306, gives the niame as Inparra, the "p" being probably a misprint for " g." The name is pronouinced Ingarda or Ingara by the natives themselves. On pages 302 to 305 Curr speaks of a tribe which he calls Kaharahala, and describes it as exteniding "from North-west Cape to thirty miles south of the ." I was myself unable to find any meaning for the word Kaharahala. The territory mentioned actually contains four tribes, the Talainji, Baiong, Mlaia, and Ingarda. The vocabulary given by Curr is from the Ingarda laniguage. INJIBANDI.-Occupies what is known as the Tableland and part of the Fortescue valley. The name is spelled Ingibandi by Clement and Yingiebandie by Withnell. The more easterly part of the Injibandi tribe call themselves Karama or Korama and are so spoken of by the Binigura who adjoin them. They say, however, that they are also Injibandi and they are so called by the Ngaluima tribe. I am unicertain wlhether the Injibandi should be regarded as one tribe divided into two parts or as two tribes. The dialect of the Eastern Injibandi differs from that of the K4rama in the west, but there are often differences of dialect in the same tribe. JIWALI.-To the east of the Buduna. KARIEiRA.-On the coast at the mouths of the Yule and Turner Rivers. Clement gives Kaierra, Withnell Kyreara, and "Yabaroo" Karriarra. MAIA.-Between the Gascoyne River and the . Given by "Yabaroo" as Miah. MIALGANA.-On the shores of Shark's Bay. The name given is that applied to the tribe by the Ingarda. Curr, Vol. 1, p. 306, mentions the tribe and gives the name as Majanna. MARDUDHUNERA.-At the mouth of the Fortescue River and the . Maratunia in Clement. Mardathoni in "Yabaroo." NAMAL or NYIMIL.-On the Shaw and Coongan Rivers. Gnamo in Clement and Nanael in Withnell. NANDA.-On the coast near Northampton. NANGAMADA.-At the south end of the Ninety-mile beach. NOALA.-At the mouth of the Ashburton River. They are called Noanamaronga by the Mardudhunera tribe. Given by " Yabaroo" as two tribes Nooella and Nooanamaronga. L 144 ]

Australia. Spencer: Gillen. Across Australia. By Baldwin Spencer and F. J. Gillen. 2 Vols. London: Macmillan & Co., 1912. 21s. net. IU The names of Spencer and Gillen are familiar to every ethnologist in the world, and probably no books on ethnology have been so widely noticed and criticised as have The Native Tribes of Central Australia (1899) and The Northern Tribes of Central Australia (1904). A new work by these authors naturally arouses considerable initerest and an expectation of new material for study; but for this ethnologists must await the publication of the results of a recent expedition by Professor Baldwin Spencer to Northern Australia. These two volumes are not intended for serious students of ethnology but for a larger public. The writers' aim is to give an account of the physical conditions of Central Australia from south to north, its flora, fauna, and humain inhabitants. They have incorporated the results obtained during several expeditions and varied jourlneyings, beginning with the Horn Expedition, the account of which was published in 1896. We have thus for a considerable portion of the traverse a sort of composite image which, as it combines the experiences of different occasions and seasons, gives a more faithful picture than could be accomplished by the descrip- tion of a single journey. Most ethnologists recognise that it is impossible to understand a people's melntal outlook and their activities withlout a thorough knowledge of their geographical and biological conditions. Our authors have not neglected this in their earlier books, but the present work brings out these conditions in greater vividness and in fuller detail. The stuaent will not find anything concerning the sociology, customs, and beliefs of the tribes here described that was not dealt with in greater detail previously, but he will findl scattered here and there odd notes about the utilisa- tion of plants and the catching of animals which will probably be new to him; such, [ 146 ]
