By Sir Atrrep Roserts, President. [Delivered to the Royal Society of N.S.W., May 1, 1889.] GENTLEMEN, — Ir would have been an infinite pleasure and pride to me, if, upon this occasion I could have followed upon the footsteps of my predecessors, and delivered a Presidential address to you, but unfortunately a late serious illness has left me incapable of the effort, and I am compelled to satisfy myself with a few homely remarks and an expression of my sense of the honour you have done me, of the great kindness and forbearance I have ever received from you and the support you have invariably given me. I cannot, however, allow this, the Centennial year of the Colony to pass without endeavouring to briefly summarise the steps by which the Royal Society of New South Wales has risen to its present position. The first attempt to establish science in Sydney appears to have been in 1821, when a Society termed the Philosophical Society of Australasia, was formed with ten members under the presidency of that most indefatigable man and scientist Sir Thomas Brisbane. _ This apparently had a short life, as. although some excellent papers were read at its meetings no mention is made of it after 1825. An attempt at its resuscitation was probably made in the year 1832—although but little record is left concerning it. In 1850a_ - more successful effort was made to bring similar materials together under the title of the Australian Philosophical Roshaty 3 ; this commenced under more favourable auspices, but agled by the Gold mania. In 1855 it made a fresh start under “the oe » name of the Philosophical Society of New South Wales, andit = _ Was at this date that I became first associated with it. Irecall with pleasure these days, when during the ——— — a : a 1198 es 2 SIR ALFRED ROBERTS, William T. Denison and his presidency of the Society I had the honour of acting as its Honorary Secretary. We had then to struggle with difficulties, such as only occur in the earliest attempts to organise science in a young community in which the circumstances of life required devotion of the energies of al] classes to the essentials of existences and the development of the first principles of Government. It was however, also a period in which the more thoughtful of the community were awakening to the advantages to be attained by the cultivation of science and its application to the varied and special features of the Colony. At this critical time the training and special qualifications of the Governor General and President, Sir William T. Denison, the deep interest he took in the young Society, aided by the kind geniality of his disposition, were of the greatest assistance. Always ready to provide papers when asked, he usually selected practical subjects adapted to the circumstances of the community and calculated to develope the resources of the country. It is evident that during the Presidency of Sir William T. Denison, the Society quickly attained a considerable amount of popularity, for we find that in 1856 ninety-one new members were elected, and its income amounted to £316. Of course this sudden prosperity could not last, and gradually gave way to varying but increasing depression until in 1866, the income had fallen to £43, and it became a question whether the Society could be carried on. Although notwithstanding the depressing vicissitudes, a large number of valuable papers had been read, and a microscopical section had been formed and conversaziones established. In 1866 the name was changed to “Royal Society of New South Wales,” and an improvement gradually took place in its circumstances. In 1875, Prof. Liversidge and Dr. Leibius were appointed Honorary Secretaries, and in that year the Society rented the building in which we meet, and which it has since purchased. From this date and through the zeal and indefatigable labours of these gentlemen, the Society has become more and more prosperous. I believe I am correct in saying that from this date See eae ANNIVERSARY ADDRESS. a also it has steadily progressed towards its present position of popularity at home, and appreciation and honour abroad. It is doubtless difficult to measure the exact amount of good which has been accomplished up to the present time, but we know the primary difficulties have been overcome, and that there is every reason to believe the future work of the Society will be increasingly productive of practical good, equally in the interests of pure and applied science. Many men have through it been stimulated to think and work with enthusiasm, and it has been well and permanently organised It is to be hoped that the improvements made in the teaching of science at the University may have a beneficial effect upon the progress of science in Australia, since but a comparatively few of the rising generation have had the necessary training to enable them to take part in scientific investigations—certain branches of science are now made optional subjects in the second and third years of the B.A. course ; the Science and Engineering courses are to be extended to three years instead of being squeezed into two years as heretofore; and a preliminary year of instruction and training in scientific subjects has been provided for medical students, so that they may be better fitted to enter upon the study of the more professional branches of the medical curriculum. It is evident that in a young community like ours, possessing great and almost unknown mineral and other resources requiring for their development the skilful application of science, it is necessary that a Society devoted to the cultivation of science in a comparatively small community must have a wider sphere of action and deal with more subjects than in an older and larger community whexe each branch can be dealt with by its separate Association. With the view of extending the work of the Society in various — branches of Science, provision was made in 1876 for the formation _ of Sections, each with its own Chairman, Secretary, and Managing 7 . Committee. For the first few years the following Committees oe met. regularly, and.did much useful work, but as time. went on 4 SIR ALFRED ROBERTS. some of them gradually declined, and at present are not in active work, although there is no reason to suppose that they will not again take their part in the work of the Society. The Sections are as follows :— Section A.—Astronomy, Meteorology, Physics, Mathematics, and Mechanics. Section B.—Chemistry and Mineralogy, and their application to the Arts and Agriculture. Section C.—Geology and Paleontology. Section D.—Biology, i.e, Botany and Zoology, including Entomology. Section E.—Microscopical Science. Section F.—Geography and Ethnology. Section G.—Literature and Fine Arts, including Architecture. Section H.—Medical. Section I.—Sanitary and Social Science and Statistics. In framing the rules for the formation of the sections the intention was that members of kindred tastes should have opportunities to meet together with fewer formalities and at more frequent intervals than at the General Meetings of the whole Society, for the exchange of ideas, information and experience upon topics of mutual interest, rather than for the reading and discussion of long and elaborate papers. ‘The great increase in the number of members and the greater popularity and usefulness of the Society dates from and was doubtless due to the formation of these sections, for prior to their : establishment and the other changes which were made at the same : time, the effective membership of the Society was probably less : than 100 ; it is evident therefore, that the meetings of the sections presented attractions to many for whom the general meetings had — but little interest. | In order that the Society should be able to hold property, and to place it upon a firmer and more permanent basis, an Act of © : Parliament was obtained in 1881 for its incorporation so that ee now has perpetual succession as a body corporate. ANNIVERSARY ADDRESS. ” 5 In the same year the system of offering the Society’s medal and @ money prize of £25 for original researches was instituted. Although the Society has not been able to award its medal for all the thirty-six specified subjects, which have been announced from time to time, there have been several original communications of sufficient merit, and in cases where the papers have not come up to the requisite standard, it is felt that much good has been _ done by directing attention to certain specified matters requiring investigation, and it is hoped that when the same subjects are again offered, as they will be in due course, papers of sufficient merit will be forthcoming, inasmuch as the subjects chosen, are, as far as possible, such as are likely to be of interest and value to the community. : During the last twelve or thirteen years special attention has been paid to the formation of a library of scientific periodicals, and efforts have been made to obtain complete sets of the Journals and Transactions of Scientific Societies and Institutions in other parts of the world both by exchange and purchase ; on account of the comprehensive character of this Society, it was felt that no other institution in Sydney was so well fitted to do it, being prepared, as it is, to take papers upon almost all branches of knowledge. Accordingly the Society has spared no effort to make its library as complete as possible in this respect, and it has, considering its limited means, spent large sums for this purpose. As a reward it has now probably one of the best collections of ‘Scientific periodical literature in Australia. This of course, has not been done without some sacrifice, and although it may justly be urged that the Society’s library is but Poorly stocked with ordinary new books, this is a matter of less importance, since new books usually become cheaper before they become dearer, whereas to procure complete series becomes more difficult and costly from year to year; there are also several libraries in Sydney at which the ordinary run of modern books — : upon scientific subjects can be easily consulted by our members. — Tt may be said that in 1874 we had no library, for the few books 6 SIR ALFRED ROBERTS. which had been presented to us had been handed over to the care of the Australian Museum, as we had no home of our own, they became merged in the library belonging to the Museum, and all efforts to trace and recover them were without avail; but since the Society is making exchanges with some 350 Societies and Institutions in all parts of the world, the annual increase to its library of journals and transactions is very great, and starting from 0 in 1874, the library now shews a total, in round numbers, of some 5,000 bound books and a sie large number of unbound books and pamphlets. With this cursory glance at a few points in the history of our Society prior to the Centennial year of the Colony, we now find it through the instrumentality of one of its Honorary Secretaries, Professor Liversidge, acting as the starting point from which the * Australasian Society for the Advancement of Science ” has been established. Having been prevented, by the state of my health, from taking an active part in this important Scientific Congress, I am unable to describe, from personal observation, the various sectional meetings, excursions, &c., which took place during the first meeting of the Association held in Sydney during the past year. Itis fitting however, that I should place on record a brief epitome of its development and inauguration in this city. Iam indebted for, and have epitomised the following facts from the very able address of its President :— “Up to the year 1831 no organised Association for the promo- tion of Science had existed in Great Britain. In that year, however, Mr. (afterwards ‘Sir’) David Brewster, supported by Sir Roderick Murchison, Sir John Herschel and others, initiated the first Association for the advancement of Science. The first , meeting was held in York, when 353 persons were present. Ithas since won the confidence of various Governments who have adopted a and acted upon its recommendations, and regularly placed in its keeping sums of mary for the promotion of Science. Its subse- _ ANNIVERSARY ADDRESS. . 7 quent progress is the history of the advancement of Science during the last fifty-eight years. “During this time perhaps nothing is more striking than the wide scope and practical utility ofits work. Such varied subjects as the shooting stars, the science of ship building, underground drainage and the most intricate chemical questions, received equal attention, and had additional light thrown upon them under its influence ; while hundreds of other subjects, scientific and practical were throughly investigated by the voluntary labours of its members. “ By having its meetings in different towns of Great Britain, it made their men of science personally known to each other, and as it were focussed science, and at the same time rendered its own machinery easily guided from the central point. 1n 1883, or 1884, it held its meeting in Montreal, and at this it was suggested that on some future occasion it should be held in Australia. This idea had previously occurred to Professor Liversidge in 1872, who seeing the impossibility of carrying it out at that time, owing to the length and cost of the voyage &c., turned the opportunity to advantage in 1886 by advocating the preliminary, practical, and important step of establishing in the meanwhile an “ Australian Association for the Advancement of Science.” “From this date, the question appears never to have been absent from the mind of Professor Liversidge, but was carefully introduced by him to the Public at every favourable opportunity, until finally his efforts were, as we know, brought to a successful issue during the Centennial year.” Although, as I have already stated, I was prevented by the state of my health from taking an active part in this important festival, and am unable therefore to describe from personal _ observation, the interesting meetings and excursions which took Place, I know that it was an eminent success, and that it was bears attended by delegates and others of high scientific reputation bidenne : : ee ae the —_ whe collectively formed a sank of men & ae oe 8 SIR ALFRED ROBERTS. representing the talent of the Australasian Universities and Scientific Societies. Failing my personal observation, I again avail myself of the most interesting address of the President. From this I find that in July 1886, Professor Liversidge wrote to the Presidents of the various Australasian Scientific Societies inviting them to appoint members of their Councils to represent them at a meeting to be held in Sydney at an early date. This meeting subsequently took place, drafted rules for the Association, and arranged that the first meeting should take place in Sydney in September 1888. Under his acti pervision and quidance the work of organisation was carried on, and in March 1888, the delegates were called together. At this meeting they elected H. C. Russell, B.A., F.R.S., President ; Professor Liversidge and Dr. George Bennett, F.L.S., Honorary Secretaries; and Sir Edward Strickland, K.C.B., Honorary Treasurer. At subsequent meetings Vice-Presidents, Presidents and Secretaries of Sections were appointed, and every effort was made to found the Association upon a broad basis. These efforts were so successful that the President was able in his opening address to announce that the members numbered no less than 750,* and to express his belief “that the Association had acquired an impulse which in the course of time would lead it on to the realization of its purpose.” Sectional Committees were appointed for the following subjects: Section A.—Astronomy, Mathematics, Physics, and Mechanics. Section B.—Chemistry and Mineralogy. Section C.—Geology and Paleontology. Section D.—Biology. Section E.—Geography. Section F.—Economic and Social Science and Statistics. Section G.—Anthropology. Section H.—Sanitary Science and Hygiene. Section I.—Literature and Fine Arts. Section J.—Architecture and Engineering. * The number rose to 851 during the meeting.

The Sectional Committees assembled in the rooms set apart for their use at the University, at 10°30 a.m. each day, until the conclusion of the meeting. The Sections met at the University at 11 a.m., for the reading and discussion of papers. The following Presidential Addresses were delivered at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, 22th August :— Section A.— Astronomy, Mathematics, Physics and Mechanics, by Mr. R. L. J. Ellery, F.R.S., F.R.A.S.

The railway authorities of South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales agreed to issue return tickets at single fares, to members of the Association travelling by railway from other Colonies to attend the General Meeting, and the following steam- ship companies undertook to convey members to Sydney and back at a reduction of 20 per cent. on the ordinary rates :—Australian United Steam Navigation Company ; Messrs. Wm. Howard Smith and Sons, Limited ; Messrs. Huddart Parker and Co. ; Adelaide Steamship Co. The Union Steamship Co. carried members at excursion rates. The titles of the 110 papers read and the lectures delivered indicate that the work done was eminently useful and interesting; and it must be a source of great satisfaction to this Society that the meeting went off with unclouded success, afforded much pleasure to a large number of the best class of minds, by affording them an opportunity of interchanging thought with kindred spirits and generally stimulated the spirit of scientific enterprise. I must not fail to mention here, that the annual Conversazione of this Society was arranged to take place at the termination of the Association’s Proceedings. It was held in the Great Hall of the University, on the 5th September, under the management of a Committee composed of the President, Sir Alfred Roberts, H. C. Russell, B.A., F.R.S., one of the Vice-Presidents, the Hon. Secretaries, Prof. Liversidge, M.A., F.R.S., and F. B. Kyngdon, and Messrs. Charles Moore, F.L.S., P. R. Pedley, Dr. Leibius, M.A., Prof. Threlfall, M.A., and Prof. Warren, M. Inst. C.E. f The Hall and the approaches were artistically decorated with flags, shields, and festoons of greenery, and Mr. Charles Moore, Director of the Botanic Gardens, kindly furnished a supply of palms, ferns, and rare pot-plants. The Physical Laboratory was thrown open, and experiments were conducted by Prof. Threlfall and Mr. John F. Adair, also the Medical School of Prof. Anderson Stuart and the Mechanical ANNIVERSARY ADDRESS. pus Laboratories and workshops, where the large testing machine was, exhibited in work by Prof. Warren. The Macleay Museum and the various Lecture Rooms, were also thrown open to the guests. Mr. F. Morley presided at the organ, and select pieces were: played at intervals. The number of guests present was about 1,500, the unusually large gathering being due to the fact that invitation cards had been issued to the members of the Australasian Association for the Advancement of Science, the Inaugural Meeting of which had just closed. Impressed as I am with the importance of this movement, I deeply regret being compelled to deal with it in this very meagre and cursory manner; but I must pass on to note the work done by the various sections of the Society during the past year. In the Medical Section, seven meetings were held, at which the attendance was far above the previous average. The papers read and the specimens exhibited were also interesting and valuable. Dr. Knaggs was elected Chairman, and Dr. MacCormick and Dr. Jenkins Secretaries. This Section is gradually developing a better form of work, and I look eagerly forward to the time when the strain upon the physical and mental powers of its members, caused by the arduous duties of general practice, will be diminished and they will be enabled to devote more time and greater energy to original research. I feel confident also that the stimulus given by the meeting of the Association for the Advancement of Science and the very successful Medical Congress held in Melbourne last: year, will beneficially affect this section, which is destined to take _ & first place in its special branch of Scientific Research. I regret to observe that the Sanitary Section has not yet. assumed the position which the vital importance of the subject 2 as _ requires. It is unfortunate that in this the early stage of beste ae development of Scientific Hygiene, it has often to work against = on gem of the term “ Rectitary oun which meee eS 12 SIR ALFRED ROBERTS. many persons is associated with Inspectors of Nuisances and plumber’s work. It will not however be denied that the aims of medical and sanitary science, or hygiene, are the reduction of the rate of mortality by the prevention of disease, and the improve- ment of the physique of mankind, both of which must be mainly attained through hygiene, based upon scientific principles. When T look round and observe the terrible ravages of typhoid, diphtheria — and other preventible diseases, the deplorable ignorance which apparently exists among us, and the melancholy apathy with which these evils are tolerated, I can but feel that instead of being our weakest, this should be our strongest section, and I venture, to suggest that closely related as this subject is to medical science, it should in some way be associated and co-operate with it. The microscopical section has done much good work, and its members display an energy and interest wihch augur well for the future success of the section. The Treasurer has kindly furnished me with the following particulars of the present condition of the Society :—The number of ordinary members of the Society on the Ist May, 1888, was 482. Twenty new members were elected during the past session, and one was transferred from the list of corresponding members, Against this increase the Society has to regret the loss of seven members by death, eight resigned, and fourteen were struck off the roll in accordance with Rule XIV., so that the present total is 474, being a decrease of eight since the beginning of last session. The income of the Society has been fully maintained, owing to the greater number of members paying the increased subscription of two guineas, and the liberality of the Government and Legis- lature, who in consequence of the withdrawal of the free printing of the Society’s proceedings, have generously increased the annual subsidy to a maximum of £500 instead of £400, on the condition of £1 for every £1 being subscribed by the members. The gross receipts were £1,356 16s. 4d., of which £63 was for entrance and composition fees, and about £45 for repayments for © : ANNIVERSARY ADDRESS. 13 freight and other disbursements. The expenditure was unusually heavy, and amounted to £1,304 4s. 7d., including £137 for the Conversazione, and £100 for the book cases in the hall and library. The cost of the Society’s Journal was also great, being no less than £246, After transferring £107 2s. to the Building and Investment Fund, there remained a balance of £5 8s. 3d. to carry forward to the new session. _ The sum to the credit of the Building and Investment Fund is £514 3s. 1d., and the Clarke Memorial Fund now amounts to £276 11s. 4d., of which, however, £30 4s. 9d. is still due from the liquidator of the Oriental Bank. These sums are invested as fixed deposits in the Union Bank at five per cent. per annum interest. The balanceof the Smith Memorial Fund amounting to£9 0s. 10d. was spent in the purchase of photographs, which were sent to all the subscribers. In addition to the Reserve Fund of over £500, the Society possesses the premises in which we are now assembled together with the furniture and effects, and a very valuable library. There are no liabilities whatever beyond the current expenses.

Ellery, F.R.S., Government Astronomer of Victoria. : | ANNIVERSARY ADDRESS. 15 At its meeting on 30th May, 1888, the Council awarded the prize of £25 and the Society’s Medal, which had been offered for the best communication on the “ Anatomy and Life . History of Mollusca peculiar to Australia,” to the Rev. J. E. Tenison-Woods, F.G.8., F.LS. The Council has since issued the following list of subjects with ; the offer of the Society’s Bronze Medal and a prize of £25, for each of the best researches, if of sufficient merit :— Series X.—To be sent in not later than Ist May, 1891. No. 34.—The Meteorology of Australia, New Zealand, and Tasmania. No. 35.—Anatomy and Life History of the Echidna and Platypus. No. 36.—The Microscopic structure of Australian Rocks. ; During the year the Society has subscribed to 45 Scientific ; Journals and Periodicals, and has purchased 55 volumes at a cost of £68 12s. 3d., including a copy (text only) of the “Geology of : the United States Exploring Expedition during the years 1828— | 1842, under the command of Charles Wilkes, U.S.N., by James : D. Dana, A.M.” This is believed to be the only copy in New South Wales, and was procured through the kind intervention of the Smithsonian Institution, Washington. The donations to the library during the past year have been as follows :—1,205 Volumes, Parts and Pamphlets; 3 Portfolios of Charts; 22 Loose Charts; 11 Photographs; Objective for ; Microscope 2} inch, and a Powell & Lealand’s +; Micro-objective N.A. 1:5.

Tenison-Woods. ue observations on the organs of respiration, circulation and develops _ “ The essay deals with many subjects, including new and important _ 16 SIR ALFRED ROBERTS. ment of well-known species of mollusca from Port Jackson and Botany Bay. The author relates the discovery of red blood in two of the species Arca trapezia and Solen loanii, which is the more interest- ing as the same exceptional peculiarity exists in a British species of Solen, and an American species of Arca. There is also an account of the microscopic examination of the gill apparatus of the rock oyster, Ostrea mordax, from which it appears that the ova of oysters are nursed in the gill-chambers until they are hatched a fact of great importance in oyster cultivation. Other new facts in Australian molluscan life are detailed, which are too numerous for separate mention. One matter, however, which occupies the greater portion of the paper, is the discovery of sense organs, especially eyes in the shells and opercula, as well as similar developments in the soft tissues. The observations of Dr. Semper and Professor Mosley on these organs are considerably extended by the author, who draws conclusions which must, if correct, cause a change in the present classification of Australian mollusca. He states that he has discovered eyes and sense organs in numbers equal to any recorded in several genera, such as limpets (Patella, Acmea, Siphonaria, Scutus, &c.), periwinkles (Littorina, Risella, Nerita, &c.), and others, amongst the univalves ; and in Ansiina, Lima, Arca, and Trigonia amongst the bivalves. But the most singular part of the investigations is that which refers to the genus Trigonia. The author finds that each of the outer surfaces of Trigonia lamarckii has a facetted structure like the eye of a fly, and each of the facets has a cornea, lens, retina, and optic nerve. Viewed under the microscope, the outer surface shows ribs and raised tubercles, on each portion of which there is a pavement of brilliantly-refracting eyes as small and as close as those of an insect. A section of the shell shows the nerves of these organs uniting in what the author believes to be a large nervous centre _ or brain. From this other large nerves are given off, so that the _ SRG See ed ANNIVERSARY ADDRESS. 17 ‘soft tissues of the animal are supplied from it, and are connected with the valve by nerve strands at the muscular scars. The author, therefore, regards the valves of 7rigonia as brain-case containing sense-organs above, the brain in the centre, and the nerves ‘supplying the soft organs inside. If these conclusions are correct, they are of startling import- ance. The bivalve shells are classified as having no brain, and a very small nervous system in the soft tissues. It is now claimed for them to have a large brain and nervous system. They are ‘superior to the univalves, in which one of the valves is represented by the operculum. No doubt the paper will evoke much attention from comparative anatomists. Another important paper by the same author, on the Desert Sandstone, occupies a considerable portion of the year’s proceed- ings. The author describes the Desert Sandstone as a formation spread more or less over the whole extent of the Australian Con- tinent. It has been a great puzzle to all geologists, principally on account of its broken character, peculiar stratification, and the absence of any fossils. The author regards it entirely as a volcanic ash, and as belonging exclusively to the tertiary voleanie emanations. The evidences upon which these conclusions are built up are partly the microscopic appearances of the sands, and partly geological considerations, for which the paper itself must be consulted, and on which it gives ample detail. I trust, gentlemen, that, for the reasons above stated, you will kindly accept of these few words in place of a presidential — address, and that you will permit me to reiterate my warm thanks for the honour of having been elected to hold the high office of President of your Society, as well as for the great kindness and Consideration you have at all times shown me. Assuring you of the pleasure it has been to me to enjoy your universal kindness and consideration, I will now, in retiring from the Chair, offer the Society the best wishes of an old friend for its : future success, and introduce your President for 1889.

A. Dixon, F.1.C., F.C.8., Lecturer on Chemistry, Sydney Technical College. [Read before the Royal Society of N.S.W., June 5, 1889.] ‘TuE two soils forming the subject of this notice were from a sugar plantation on the Burnett River in Queensland. They were exactly alike in appearance and were described to me as forest soil and scrub soil, from the different vegetation growing planter. In each, the soil was from fifteen to thirty feet deep, the surface indications other than the natural vegetation, were similar, and of course the climate was the same. ‘The soils were iE found to differ however, extremely in their behaviour under cane crops, as, whilst the scrub soil bore cane well and yielded good a crops, the forest ras =_ plant canes well, first ratoons poor and afterwards of no v 4 The reason of here is Plaka shown in the analysis ; but befoxe __ entering on Poni it may be well to make a few re emarks on soil- @ t is a branch of chemical work which has of late years been sada discounted as of little value. It may certainly be COMPOSITION OF TWO SUGAR PLANTATION SOILS. 33 said with truth that the greater number by far of the analyses of soils which have been published are of little value, but the reason of this is not difficult to find, and these are that, lst, sufficient care has seldom been taken to obtain uniform samples of the soil for analyses, and 2nd, that the analyses have not been conducted with sufficient refinement to secure the object in view. The former condition can be easily attained, but the latter can only be secured by years of practice, which is often wanting in those to whom the work is relegated. In selecting a sample, it is commonly the practice to dig up some soil in one place and mix up ten or twelve pounds of it for a sample. If we consider that the excrement of a bird containing ten grains of nitrogen mixed with a sample so taken would be equal to 0-014 % of nitrogen or 1568 Ibs per acre, and that the urine of an animal spent a year before might similarly increase, not only the nitrogen but the phosphates and other ash constitu- ents of plants gathered from far and wide, it is evident that such a mode of sampling is liable to error and stands condemned. The samples of soil here referred to were taken by my direction as follows :—A piece of sheet iron was bent into a tube, one and _ a-half inches in diameter, leaving a slit quarter of an inch wide down one side, and one end of this was fastened to a convenient handle. The ground was gone over at regular intervals of about This may seem a tedious operation, but without this preliminary care the work of analysis is not only useless but often misleading —which is worse. 34 w.

Nitrogen.—Two ewt. of sulphate of ammonia containing 67 Ibs. of ammonia, produce marked results on crops, and three ewt. of nitrate of soda containing about the same quantity of nitrogen produces similar results. In both these examples the analytical results would be repre- sented by 0:001%. At the same time it must be borne in mind that these quantities are in addition to those already present in the soil, and that they are in a readily available form, and that land which contained only such quantities would be practically barren and worthless In the following analyses all the determinations except the first three, which are e not of much importance, and the last which is by undred.

T. WYNDHAM THE ABORIGINES OF AUSTRALIA. By W. T. Wynpuam, Boyne Island, Queensland. [Read before the Royal Society, N.S.W., June 5, 1889.] Tue Ucumble Tribe inhabiting the Western Fall of New England, from the Peel to the Sovereign River, take their name from (Ucum) which means No. A small tribe which joined them on the north were called patna from the word (Quie) which means No. To the north-west they were bounded by a tribe (Bigumble) which said (Yagga) for No. To the south and south- west by the ogo and ‘the (Cumilri) which respectively said (Wal) and (Cumil) Yo. The Ucumble a had a tradition that they arrived in the country as animals, and their old men had a great many chants descriptive of the arrival, and of that which each one said, and saw, on its arrival. s to the family relations—Cumbo has a son Cubbe, Cubbe has a son Cumbo. Bya has a son Epi, Epi has a son Bya. This arrangement continues from generation to genera- tion. Cumbo has a sister Boothanar. Cubbe has a sister Cupathanar. Bya has a sister Marthanar. Epi has a sister — Epathanar. Bya marries Boothanar. Epi marries Cupathanar. Cumbo marries Marthanar, and Cubbe marries Epathanar. This arrangement with reversions continues from generation to genera- tion. If any one seizes a gin contrary to this order he is (Warri) of consequences. All the Cumbos consider themselves brothers, never minding how distant the tribe, nor how remote the relation- _ ship ; so with Bya and all the others. The same with the women. These brothers can interchange wives and steal each other’s gins, which is principally the cause of their fights. All the Cumbos, | Epis, or Cubbies of different tribes will help their brothers if fighting over a gin. They always fought most honourably before — all the tribes, and the first blood shed ‘decided the contest. Each male has his (Gier) aboriginal meat or animal, which is his totum — or animal, and which he will not eat on any consideration, as he - a he arrived in it. The same holds good in the case of the ny people maintain that the aborigines have no belief in the a S 2 THE ABORIGINES OF AUSTRALIA. 37 Mr. Ridley, when missionary to the aboriginals many years ago, coincided with me in this, and he was one of the few men that I ave met who was well up in these facts. I may mention an anecdote of him as it is rather amusing. The year the gold was discovered in Bingera (I being one of the chief prospectors) the aborigines camping with me on Bingera Creek told me that a (Marque) white man was coming, and on looking up I saw the Rev. gentleman, and asked him to come and partake of our repast, which was roast wallaroo; he alighted and joined us most heartily, at the same time talked most volubly to the aborigines composing my escort, when suddenly he broke out in a “very wild chant of what he told me was a corrobboree he had Ww the ridiculous, went into screams of laughter, and for years after used to mimic him to me. Byamy (God) resides in the milky way which is His road. The dark patches consist of oak trees and the lighter portions of water. The natives had a very fine chant relating to this—which I have unfortunately forgotten, it began “Dibro Billar.” All the chants of the creation were most religiously sung and repeated at the Booras. Their ideas of a future state are rather vague; but that they die to reappear, and he professed to hold communion with their spirits. I will now describe what I know of a Boora, I think about the last saw, but as all the old men are dead I now consider myself at liberty _ to speak on the subject. ; as In the first place there were four tribes present. The (Enuin) Who said (Enu) for No, Ucumble, Quieumble, and Bigumble. — oe ‘They made their camps at four different equidistant points, each : ne towards their own (Thary) i.¢., their own country. — After the 38 W. T. WYNDHAM. this instance all the circles were marked with stones, and both reminded me of Stonehenge and of Averbury in Wiltshire. On the first occasion, when I was present, the circles were very neatly marked with tied-up sheaves of grass, rock, and pieces of wood. The young men before undergoing their ordeal had to go away for two or three days and fast, in a naked condition without an opossum rug. The principal man who presided over the ceremony he glory of a largish species of ironbark and the blossom of all the other n goes to fight The doctors and medicine men acted as priests at the Boora.

Several of these men were consummate ventriloquists ; I recollect one in particular, called Copepbiter, i.e., the man inhabited by : $3 Tr Ria, HE Pine pit cna” ane ace a ane ea Oy panied ie et ee ahs tare oe ole THE ABORIGINES OF AUSTRALIA. 39 in him. The medicine men carried about a medicine bag which contained pieces of crystallized quartz, and they valued those most which showed internal red spots. These were what they _ professed to inject intoanenemy. Whenaman supposed himself bewitched, he would employ some other medicine man to extract he said had come out of the patient. I myself have been a patient and had this operation performed, when pins and needles were sucked out of me. Whenever an aboriginal saw a meteor he would say it was a medicine man throwing a stone from one tribe into another. In fact there was no end to their belief in sorcery. These doctors were far from contemptible surgeons in setting bones and in bleeding, they always bled from the inflamed Spot, using a sharp stone, and then sucking the wound. I will describe to you what an individual black of importance in the Ucumble tribe went through from his sickness till his - death. JI was camped with him at the time and saw everything. He evidently died from consumption; the tribe carried him about from place to place with the greatest tenderness. I wandered along with them through the grass-tree ranges for some length of time in the spring of the year, living almost entirely on (Girroo) the honey from the blossom of the grass-tree, which is collected in this wise: you carry a hand full of (Yappre)—the bark of the Currajong tree chewed and hammered out so that it was all fibre or like marraar the fibre of a species of grass treated in the same way. You place your hand filled with either of these substances, and run it from the bottom to the top of the blossom ofa gunya, A fire was lighted in the bottom, and after it had 40 WwW. T.

In using their stone tools, which they do very dexterously, the natives turn out work that you would hardly believe possible with such rough implements, they show great ingenuity, particu- larly in making their harpoon heads for spearing dugong and | fish ; instead of shaving the wood up and down with the grain as a European workman would do, they turn the piece of wood for — a spear-head round and round, and chip it off across the grain, | working it as wooden boxes are turned on a lathe. T have often : sat and watched them doing this. a There is one kind of bark canoe they make in Central Queens- land that I have assisted in making, and do not recollect having . seen in New South Wales. The builder cuts three sheets of bark THE ABORIGINES OF AUSTRALIA. 41 them into the proper shape, the ends are then pared rather thin ; the peel of some fibrous root (generally from a species of ficus) is used as a thread to sew the bark together ; the two pieces of bark are placed on their sides, and the bottom sewn on to them by using an awl, a roll of the paper tea tree plant is used to caulk the cracks, two saplings are sewn inside to stiffen the outer rim of the canoe all round, and the okka is finished. Their corrobborees travel a long distance from tribe to tribe. I will describe one witnessed at two places, two or three hundred miles apart, and the inference drawn from it. I had taken a mob of cattle to the Condamine or Barwon River, a long distance from cumble country, and while there saw an immense corrobboree. There was an image made of earth and logs, and I asked some of ‘the natives in English (not understanding the dialect) what it was intended to represent, and was told that it was the big fellow that lived in the water. I took no further notice of it, but more than a year afterwards, being on the Bundarra River, I saw, heard, and danced at the same corrobboree, being with my own they told me it was the Cubilgun, which in Ucumble is the name for the bunyip, warway, or polgun, which all have heard about. ‘Some little while after this I was sitting down with some of my tribe by a large water-hole, which the blacks would not go into, as they said it was inhabited by this mythical animal, and conversing with some of the old men on the subject, they told me that the Cubilgun made a nest of leaves, reeds, and other things, ut that none of them had seen it themselves, it also laid eggs ; I thought no more of it, believing it all a myth. Years after- fishing and hunting for the last thirteen years) s one day wandering with an aboriginal in one of the mangrove islands, when he pointed out to me a crocodile’s nest ; I leave you gentle- ‘men Ww own inference. The aborigines barter the (yallum) bits of the nautilus shell and other things. Yallum is found with every tribe all through the interior. On the Macintyre they knew of the Bunya Bunya pine, why should not the fame of ‘the crocodile have travelled down south as well as other things. - With me could not make them understand—lI seated — Re “eross-legged and smoothing the ground each side of me with my = 42 H.

I have found’ both on the mainland and this island that the expressions are very similar to those used on the Macintyre and Big Rivers, which I perfectly understand, save that in Ucumble (Ut tee thul) answers for (Nulle thul) ; ut _ tee is derived from (Utta inda) you and me. Thus (Utta) me, and (Inda) you, is used in nearly every tribe, so with many other words. Evidently the different languages have been derived from one original. The aborigines having broken up, and formed small tribes from the original stock, have altered their customs : more or less, to suit the requirements of the districts where they have located themselves, and their language has undergone _ similar changes. .

It is remarkable to see the contrast on the map. It seems indeed as if the rain outside that circle were hot worth mentioning, for with the 20 inches at Sydney to 26 inches on the high land north of Parramatta, the 4 to 5 inches in the Hunter District seems hardly worth comparison.

C.

Tn the following month, the highest flood of recent years took place, and the water rose at Maitland, at 1 a.m. of April 26, to 354ft. 4in.: and the commission reported, ‘We are inclined i that during the height of this flood the water came dow Maitland faster than during wh flood since the setelsitiant of the country. t the same time, we know that a rainfall of 2in. a day for five or six days would aaa double the quantity.” ‘‘ Such a rainfall may occur, and we feel bound to point out what would probably be the effect.” “Such a rainfall might raise the water at Maitland to the level of the flood of 1820—that is 6ft. higher — than the flood of April, 1870.” ‘ With such an increased eleva- — tion the quantity which breaks over the banks at Graham’s would be enormously increased, and instead of passing round through ~ the back country, would break into the town, hae being joined there by the main body of the water, would sweep High-street ( from one end to the other, and probably leave the town in ruins.” In 1870 there were but two rain-gauges in the Hunter watershed, and it is very satisfactory now to find that the calculations based on the rainfall indicated by these two gauges is substantially borne — y recent experience. ow we have 20 rain-gauges in the — same district, and we find that a rainfall which averaged a little more than lin. per day for four days, the tota] being 5 ‘Ol, made — 889 ft in 1889 a flood of 33ft. 6in. ; in March, 1870, the total rain in four days was 5:08, and the flood 31ft. 3in.; and in April the — same year, with a greater rainfall, 5-98, there was a flood of 34ft. 4in. Rain, therefore, as heavy as that which fell about Sydney — in the recent storm would, upon the watershed of the Hunter, | produce five times as much water as they had in the recent flood. I am not prepared to say how high such a flood would rise, but it — is quite certain that it would rise very much higher than any fl contemplated by the floods commission, and what they deemed possible appears in the quotations above. Observations at Sydney — Observatory, since it began in 1858, show no rainfall as heavy a8 _ that of May last; but in 1860 we had 16-81 in four days, and_ previous to 1858—the records at South Head show two instances . of 20in. of rain within 24 hours, and in one case 2lin. rain fell at — Illawarra in three days. So that it is quite evident that such | tropical rain storms must be considered as by no means impossib: on this part of the = ge When the report of the 1870 Floods 4 d, picture had been minal: and that practically it is impossible f¢ the water to rise to such a level as the commission men seams Ndi ot ite oO ete PROCEEDINGS. 45 The opinion of the commissioners is, ~ _— ate of more consideration than the statements 6f ni non men, and while they contemplated the seaeyueed of 10 or 1z inches of ‘rain in five or six days, we are obliged from actual experience to admit that 25in. might fall in four dave The commission advised that in the event of a flood rising 2ft. above that of April, 1874, and showing no signs of immediate abatement, that ‘it will be time for the | eens. we soe safety upon higher ground,” but how this was to be don y did not indicate.

It weighs 673Ibs. and has evidently been a long time upon the earth, for the affect of rain and weather has made many cracks in it, owing probably to the oxidation of the iron it contains. It still has the power of attracting the Magnet but not strongly. Its specific gravity is 3-857. It is quite evident that at one time it was much larger, greater part of rain, and in places large pieces have evidently fallen off. In this respect it differs much from the two from Barratta Station, which do not seem to have suffered from wind and weather and have only lost some pieces, which have been broken off with a hammer. As to the chemical composition of these meteors we at present know nothing, but I hope our President Professor Liversidge, may be induced to examine them and see what t ey contain ; them at least, are obviously what are called stony meteorites. The Gilgoin one evidently once contained much iron, and has still enough in it to attract the magnet, but a great deal has been oxidised since it fell upon the earth.” A discussion followed in which the following gentlemen took part :—Messrs.

By Joun Tessurt, F.R.A.S., ke. [Read before the Royal Society of N.S.W., July 3, 1889.] high tide which occurred at Fort Denison in Sydney Harbour in the night of June 15th, the water having risen to a point 6 feet ‘8 inches above the zero of the gauge. I may state that ever since the establishment of the tide gauge on the South Creek, due south ‘of my Observatory, towards the close of March last I had looked forward with interest to my own local records of the tides im- mediately to follow the full moon of June 1889. In a letter to my esteemed friend, the Rev. Dr. Woolls of Burwood, dated April llth, [expressed my anticipations respecting the probable magni- tude of these tides. I had already remarked that at her opposition in June the moon would be within two hours only of her perigee, and that a very close one, her distance from the centre of the earth being only 55-99 equatorial radii of the latter body. In addition to two conditions favourable to the production of a large tide ‘Senerally, there was the local condition that the moon would reach her point of greatest south declination, 23 degrees, only thirty-one ours after the opposition. It will be seen that, not only would the conditions for a large tide-wave generally be forthconi- ing, but also that the vertex of the tide-wave itself would approach ‘close to the parallels of Sydney and Windsor. This circumstance 52 JOHN TEBBUTT. looking forward with considerable interest to the records of the. tides following the June full moon, but it will been seen from what follows that 1 was rather unfortunate in the results. My tide- register after furnishing a continuous trace of the tidal movements of the South Creek for about two months had to be removed on the 26th May last in consequence of the flood which occurred at the close of that month. Owing to the long interval required on that occasion for the subsidence oe the abicaas the gauge could not In the afternoon of this date it registered its first high tide a t 2h. igh. The ol west of the menced its regular records, occurred at 3h. 12m. a.m. on April 9th, when the surface of the Creek was 10ft. 44in. below the arbitrary datum or zero of the scale, but the high tide just referred to, attained to 6ft. 8}in., which exhibits a range of 3ft. 8in. This range, however, would be very much smaller than that in the 3 Hawkesbury itself, of which the Creek is but a tributary. The difference is due to the contraction of the mouth of the 7 by stream. The seven high tides following that of 2h. 15m. p.m. June 14th unfortunately were not registered in n consequence of the water rising to a poin it much higher than that. allowed for the rise of the float. It w traces themselves — that the night tides of June 15 — 16th wel: 16+ i7th were much — higher than the other five which could not be recorded. It is et certain that the two tides more particularly referred to must — ve risen nearly two feet higher than the high-water level of — Fins 14th 2h. 15m. The evening tide of June 18th was duly © registered, but that on the morning of the 19th was too high. Since this epoch the tidal-movements have been recorded with — their usual regularity. It is a most unfortunate circumstance that — the gauge had not been so arranged as to admit of the registration — of these extraordinary tides. 2 orev 2 did not anticipate tides — of such magnitude and I am still of opinion that the causes were — not wholly of an immediate pee stare character. The p nomena may be due in some measure to rain water coming down — hs river, to the heaping up of the water along the coast by pater orth-easterl gales and to the = atmospheric pressure whi pr 3 obtained at the time. They were of so unexpected a character — that I was about to write to thee ededienas Astronomer to ask — him if any abnormal movements of the water had taken place in Sydney frie! when I observed his note in the Herald on the subject of the recorded high tide at Fort Denison. Mr. in his letter deates oe to the circumstance thata still higher tide was recorded at 9h. 30m. p.m. on May 26th, 1880, when water rose to a sous 3} inches higher. On re’ refering to t iy de Sige seta ON THE HIGH TIDES OF JUNE 15—17. 53 astronomical conditions at that epoch, I find that the moon was in opposition at 4h. 44m. p.m. on M ay 24th, that she was in a very close perigee (56:05 equa tavind indi and that the vertex of the wave passed again very close to Sydney. It appears therefore that the astronomical conditions were then eminently favourable for extraordinarily high night tides. I may very suitably bring my remarks to a close by pointing out that immediately after the full moon of J uly we shall be again visited with high spring tides in the night, though the conditions are not quite so ) favourable for height as those which obtained at the last full moon. I may also add that after July the tides will not be remarkably high from immediate astronomical causes till the new moon of December next. The conjunction occurs at 10h. 56m. p.m., Sydney sea ~ December 22nd, the perigee (distance in equatorial radii =56:03) thirteen hours later, te the moon’s greatest south cadet 24°, at Sh. p.m. on. the 23rd. The occasion they will be in the day-time. These expectations are of course founded on purely astronomical considerations alone. It may be that the magnitude of the tides will be modified by causes which are regarded as strictly meteorological. For instance, if heavy easterly gales and a low atmospheric ee _— the predicted tides will probably prove much higher n than anticipate, but on the ik wid should strong aaa gene with _ high pressure prevail they will prove not so high as expected.

Russerz, B.A., F.R.S. [Read before the Royal Society of N.S.W., August 7, 1889.] out just ten years since, the remarkable relations existing between the rainfall and rivers of the west, I was told by engineers and squatters, who knew all the country, that it was impossible that my statements could be true. It was most positively asserted that no rain ever fell there that would wet the ground 18 inches deep, much less afford any for underground supplies ; with equal run upon it; and that the rain therefore did not and could not, Statements until facts should be collected that would give a fair basis. or argument. TI had stated the results of the first measures of rain and rivers, and they were so surprising that few believed ‘Should be available for discussion before speaking again, forthe - Question at issue is of great scientific as well as practical import them, and I determined to wait until the results for several years — . 58 H. C. RUSSELL. ance. I may say in passing that I do not think the question can be finally settled yet, but the interval has sufficed to bring out important facts which I think should be published. First in reference to the opinion that no water reaches the Darling from the flat country, the following fact is sufficient to show that that view has been pressed somewhat too far, and will have to be modified so as to admit, that in heavy rains water does reach the Darling from it :—On the 21st January 1885, a remarkable rainstorm entered this colony in the N.W., not far from Milparinka, and travelled at the rate of about seven miles per hour, straight across country to the sea in an E.S.E. direction. On all the country round Wilcannia from 10 to 11 inches of rain fell in about 40 hours. The river had been very low for months. before, but sufficient water from this rainstorm ran off the com- paratively flat country, to make a flood in the Darling at Wilcannia that reached a maximum of 28 feet above summer level ; this fl did not subside to the old level until February 26, which was clear proof that the rain water not only filled the river, but continued to drain into it for several weeks. Certainly, the water did not come down past Bourke, which, being in the margin of the storm, was but little affected by it ; and the river measures there showed that the only rise reached its maximum at 4 feet and was all over in four days. There was no other possible way for it to come, but off the country about Wilcannia, where the rain storm ed over. It was obvious therefore, that the opinion referred to, although generally true, must be taken with some reservation, for the instance just given shews that the Darling is in times of haere rain fed by the drainage off the country below Bourke, and this. amounts to proof that at times it is fed by other parts of the flat country. With reference tothe view that the underground water comes from New Guinea or even m h land, that is South America, it seems hardl cessa: wer it seriously, Guinea could drain into our western plains the area of them is. utterly insufficient to afford the supply. It is impossible to say exactly how much is lost from the ground by evaporation. We could tell approximately how much was is a very difficult matter, for reasons which might easily be explained. So long as the surface soil is wet the evaporation oes on from it rather faster than from water, but as soon as the soil dries down half-an-inch, which does not take long, the evaporation from it practically ceases, the layer of dry earth - seems an effectual covering to the water below, it is obvious then — that the evaporation from soil does not go on at the rate which many persons suppose it does, and I am quite convinced that SOURCE OF UNDERGROUND WATER IN THE WESTERN DISTRICTs. 59 this source of loss does not seriously affect the underground supply ; once the water has sunk into the porous soil it is safe. This view of the effect of evaporation is borne out by the fact that the Murray is subject to similar temperature and wind to cause evaporation and they do not there dissipate all the water as some have supposed they doin the Darling country. This is a very strong argument against the view, so often expressed, that the small quantity of water in the Darling is due to the influence of evaporation upon the rainfall. On the other hand, in reference to my own statements, I freely admit that they have been based upon measures that might be made more accurate, if professional men could be employed to measure the discharge of the river continuously, but since that has so far been found impracticable, I have been obliged to fall back upon the careful measures of the river velocity section &c., % the same as it was then. So far as the measurements of rain ; are concerned, we have a sufficient number of rain-gauges over the basin of the Darling to show with some degree of accuracy what the rainfall is: and as to the section of the river at Bourke I am told that as a matter of fact it has not materially changed since SDE Tas to hed Oe ES @® e ° >] n = = ia) n 5 z 2 i) =] Q. ct = @ ° =} —— tS $ Q i) p ct B oO a =} Lx | ia") n 5 et ® gation since has proved to be amply sufficient. I am quite sure therefore that in all cases, I have rather over than under estima the quantity of water which is carried off by the Darling. basin of the Darling, for enclosed by the great branches which begin above Bourke truth in the statement that no rain-water reaches the Darling ‘om the flat country, but as I have shewn, there are remarkable — mighty tree. I have done this because I admit that there issome 60 H. C. RUSSELL. exceptions to this rule. Over this assumed basin then, which is intersected by numerous water courses, we are fully justified in expecting that a considerable percentage of the rainfall would get into the river, an assumption which is fully borne out by observa- tion and the sudden local floods which occur there, and if our in- vestigations had been first turned to the Murray catchment which in outward appearance and rainfall is not unlike that of the Darling, except that it has perhaps a larger proportion of flat land, we should have expected to find something like 25 per cent of the rainfall passing Bourke, the fact that we only find 1} per cent. is, with the facts of the Murray basin before us, still more inexplicable. In Europe from 20 to 50 per cent. of the rain flows away in the rivers ; in England about 30 per cent., and here in a river—the Murray, with similar basin and rainfall to the Darling, 25 per cent. of the rain flows down theriver. This remarkable condition observations prove it, then we must have a supply o underground water which is practically inexhaustible for pastoral purposes, and in addition, sufficient to irrigate some of the land. The mean rainfall on the Darling River catchment for the past ten Pe Nike opi Pantone was 4 certain amount of the Murray rainfall sinks into the ground to ; supply wells there, and hence 25 per cent. of the Murray rain- fall does not represent all that is available from it. So’much we 4 find in the river, and some more, an unknown amount, is to be — found in the soil. We should then pe perfectly justified by the SOURCE OF UNDERGROUND WATER IN THE WESTERN DISTRICTs. 61 : colation measures, because the area over which it extends is very large and is situated on the mountains where in all probability a great deal of the rainfall find its way down into porous strata. Lake George is situated at the bottom of a depression or basin in the main range and is about twenty miles south of Goulburn ; the water is 2,200 feet above mean sea level, and the lake at its greatest known flood has an area of sixteen miles long by about , five miles wide, but as the lake is shallow its area varies with the seasons. The basin, including the lake, is thirteen times the size of the lake, and its form is that of a long oval lying nearly due north and south. It is surrounded by mountains, which on the western side particularly are very steep, and in many places precipitous. The conditions at Lake George seem to be more favourable than those of the Darling basin for the rain-water to run off, owing to the high hills all round it, and we should there expect a much larger percentage of the rain in the lake than in the river. It is true that the north and south ends of the lake basin are comparatively flat, but they still have sufficient fall to cause the water to run off a freely, as proved by the creeks which exist there to carry the excess of rainfall ; but these relatively flat portions of the basin Serve to give variety to the catchment and make it more like that which feeds the river. It is in fact a considerable area out of the Same range of mountains which supplies the river, like in character the method I have adopted for this purpose is to examine oe rain gauge shows the fall of rain to have been; if it has, difference is obviously due to the inflow of water from the b : It is a remarkable and well established fact that in rains, and I include in this category, all up to 1 or 2 inch 62 H. C. RUSSELL. rain which does find its way from the hills to the lake increases considerable rise in the lake, but when we came to measure it exactly, the net result was 11} inches ; 8 inches of this had of course fallen into the lake direct as rain, and the remaining 3} inches represents what had come down the hills. Now it does not require many figures to find out what percentage of the rain- fall in this case found its way from the basin into the lake, and if all the rain which fell on it had run into the lake there would have been a rise of 96 inches from drainage ; 3} inches therefore repre- sents 3-64 per cent. of the rainfall. In 1887 a very wet year, the lake rose from drainage alone 15-86 inches, and the total rainfall for the year was 42°26, whence it appears that only 3°12 per cent. of the rainfall found its way from the basin into the lake. In 1888 a very dry year, the rainfall was 23-90, and the lake rose from drainage alone 5°32 inches, which was equal to 1°85 per of 1888, for during eleven months of the year there was not a basin ; in December 10-79 inches of rain fell, and in one rainstorm 3°88 inches fell in one day 1°92 inches in the next, and 1-22 the next, and during the heaviest part of this storm 1:59 inches of rain fell in twenty minutes. Of the December rainfall 4:11 per cent. ran off the hills into the lake. Taking the mean between stances here make it ble to see what percentage of the rain that falls on this part of the mountains ru As I have stated just now, only about 3 per cent., equal to 0-29 inch of the found its way into the lake, 7} inches must have been a SOURCE OF UNDERGROUND WATER IN THE WESTERN DISTRICTS. 63 by the soil, for it certainly did not remain on the sides of those hills as a sheet of water to be dissipated by evaporation. One has only to stand at the lake and look at its surrounding mountains to be impressed with the impossibility of water remaining there unless it sinks into the soil an We have therefore in the measures which have been made at Lake George strong evidence of the possibility of rainfall sinking rapidly into the mountains as we know has been the case in the the Darling has been observed to sink rapidly into the soil. Un- way towards confirming the statements I made about the under- ground waters of the Darling just ten years since. It is evident therefore from the measures made at Lake George that the rain there does sink into the soil where it falls, very much as it has been supposed to do on the Darling basin. It is also evident that in very heavy rains a considerable quantity of water from the flat country does find its way into the Darling, a fact could be added ; that an enormous quantity of water many times what now passes down the river has to be accounted for, after making full allowance for evaporation and other causes of loss, admits I conceive, of no doubt whatever. When we go into belo seems to be no doubt that abundance of water will be found below the surface both for pastoral and to some small extent for ON THE APPLICATION OF PRISMATIC LENSES FOR MAKING NORMAL-SIGHT MAGNIFYING SPECTACLES. By Percy J. Epmunps, Esq.

Being normal-sighted, and anxious to prevent any permanent injury to the eyes, I adopted at first an ordinary strong eye-glass, and then a watchmaker’s lens. Owing to the loss of paripentne ladiow ies the use of only one eye, I next. — ‘tried a strong pair of convex spectacles, which—while at first — apparently successful,—soon brought about the natural result of “blurr” and strain.

By Lawrence HarGRAVE. {With Eight Diagrams. | [Read before the Royal Society, N.S.W., August 7, 1889. ] Since December 1887, several developments have taken place in the evolution of 5 ears Mapianahe aioe it is proposed to describe: issue. Great efforts have been made to get a reliable motor; @ single cylinder vertical engine absorbed ee time and labour, ~ but want of skill in construction involved such an amount of un- necessary weight that if it is ever completed it will nearly all have: to be re-made. The centering difficulty gave birth to several curious mechanisms. for pulling the ‘crank off the centre, the best of them is shewn in” ig. 1, as it may be useful to engineers where a flywheel or two cylinders are inadmissible. In the position shewn both parts of the india-rubber spring are slack, when the ball-crank pin K_ gets between D and E pulling the main crank-pin L over the top centre. en the main crank-pin L gets to F it begins to store power — through the cord B, and continues to store it “until L arrives at G, this power is given out between G and H, and pulls L over the bottom centre. An air compressor, reducing valve, and Richard’s- indicator were also made, but need no special description here. petroleum spirit vapour as a e power, the only result as yet: being that manual skill in pao sa and light engine work was acquired. At this time what may be called a most valuable invention was made, namely the mechanical movement by which the wing can be made to describe rigidly the pepseot ment observ- pe view of the model is shewn in Fig. 2; the movement is applied wo. the three cylinder engine Fig. 3 and will be appreciated at its true — worth by the makers of trochoided plane flying-machines. As there seemed to be considerable difficulty in making intelli-~ gible the action of what the writer calls the trochoided-plane, it was thought that by devoting some attention to the evolution of FLYING-MACHINE MEMORANDA. 71 a screw-driven machine other workers might be brought into the field. Three varieties of models were made, namely, with double and single screws in the bow, and single screw in the stern: Fig. 4 shews the single screw in the stern, and it is the most practicable and serviceable form. It was thought that the tendency of the body to revolve on the screw shaft in a contrary direction to the screw would cause an 4 objectionable list and swerving of the machines, and that two diameter, the blades are 9 inches long, 6 inches wide at the tips, and 3 inches wide at the inner ends, giving a total surface of 126 Square inches ; the pitch is 7 feet 4 inches.

Construction and adjustment in an eminent degree: the weight : ounces, and the drawing shews every detail. ‘This engine 72 LAWRENCE HARGRAVE oe idea was conceived that a three cylinder screw engine could be made by turning the boss of the propeller into an engine, thus allowing the cylinders to revolve on the crank-shaft, the ‘shaft and erank-pin being -oorcomigreas and the thrust coming direct on the valve face. Of course the idea was put into execution with all speed, resulting in the production of the predecessor of Fig. 5, which weighed + of a pound, this worked so satisfactorily that after some kindred experiments were made Fig. 5 came into 150tbs to about 120fbs. The cylinders are ‘88 inches diameter : the stroke is 1-3 inches and the valve cuts off at -75 of the stroke. The screw blades are set at an angle of 20° giving a pitch of 44-4 inches, the diameter of the screw is 36} inches, and the area of each blade is 32-7 square inches. The diagram Fig. 6 shews the thrust time and revolutions of this engine e to far surpass the india rubber driven screw as a motor. The diagram was taken on one of those combination instruments which assume such varied forms in the hands of experimentalists. The air receivers for these motors are made of o rdinary tin- inches was is Gia dinnacher sskisrond carl on, and ‘18 cubic feet capacity; the weight is 29 ounces, and it has been pressed to 250 pounds per square inch without any sign of weakness.

A cross-bow was made — for discharging various forms of stick and paper models with adjustable weights, resulting in the production of ee ay Bra : the form necessary for the screw engine and receiver, 5. ce particular virtue is attached to the sloping back of the — "sides of | the body plane, and it is introduced here because the receiver being FLYING-MACHINE MEMORANDA. 73 only about 4 feet long brings the centre of gravity very far aft. It is found that if more than 25% of the area is in advance of the centre of gravity the models turn up and wreck ensues as a matter of course. One remarkable experiment repeatedly made, for which the writer cannot account is that Fig. 7, which is called F model, with an area of 216 square inches and weighing 2°5 ounces is pro- pelled 18 feet by stretching the crossbow 12 inches ; and another model called C, weighing 6-5 ounces and having an area of 756 Square inches is propelled 20 feet by the same motive power, the speed of the latter being obviously slower; it looks as if large areas were more important than powerful engines where spee was of little consequence. As regards the slope sideways of the halves of the body plane, it is found that so long as the centre of gravity is at all below the centre of effort there is no tendency to swerve, the turning up or down of the models is entirely due to the distance of the centre of gravity from the forward edge of the body plane. On looking into the relative positions of the centres of gravity and effort of the three most successful machines yet made, it appears that the percentage of the areas in advance of the centres of gravity are :— 48 band L. ... is 19°37 24 band H.J.K.... 20°07 48 band single screw 23°37 These positions were arrived at by experience gained by repeated wrecks when groping in comparative darkness.

Fig. 7 is to shew what is supposed to be the state of the air on and in which the machine moves. AB represents the vertical longitudinal section of the body plane. The circles and arrows are sections of transverse horizontal vortices or air rollers originated by the friction of the paper surface on the undisturbed air; these gradually work towards the tail and come to rest again after the machine has passed. There may be one or many layers of these anticyclonic vortices, but one is sufficient for this explan- ation, and in the figure it is greatly exaggerated, the pressure is supposed to be highest at the centres of the vortices, and their diameters to increase as they pass aft. You will observe that the breasts of the inequalities or waves adhering more or less closely to the paper and marked C, D, F &e., are steepest when the vortices are small and close together, and it is thought this is the reason the first quarter of the body plane supports half the weight, and that the projections of these declivities represent an approximation to what is in effect the curved bottom of the flying machine LMB. Again, suppose the visible under surface to be more uneven, and that the air rollers pass very slowly towards the stern, they then become, as it were, part of the structure and the lower forward parts of their circumferences Z, Y,X &c. become the bearing surface of the machine. The upper surface must be affected in a similar JKB to the machine. It will be readily seen that if the speed increases the vortices have less time to increase in diameter and therefore both top and bottom curves will be flatter. IRRIGATION IN ITS RELATION TO THE PASTORAL INDUSTRY OF NEW SOUTH WALES By H. G. M‘Kiyney, M.E., Roy. Univ. Jrel., M. Inst. C.E. [With Maps. ] [Read before the Royal Society of N.S.W., September 4, 1889.] IMPORTANCE OF THE PastoraL InpDusTRY. THE great benefits which agriculture and horticulture may, under favourable circumstances, derive from irrigation are now generall admitted. But while in this colony agriculture and horticulture are of great and increasing importance, the pastoral industry is likely to maintain the leading position for many years to come. The present paramount importance of the pastoral industry is very clearly indicated by recent statistics. The total area of land in New South Wales is estimated at 196,000,000 acres, and reference | to the stock returns for last year indicates that of that area a 168,000,000 acres is devoted to pastoral purposes, while the extent under cultivation amounts to only 1,042,000 acres. These figures Show that it is a question of great moment whether irrigation ~ cannot be made to assist in the development of the pastoral resources of the colony. It may be at once stated that the question has already been answered by one of the best authorities in Australia, namely, Mr. : J. 8. Horsfall, President of the Australian Sheep-breeders’ Associ- 4 ation and late Chairman of Directors in the great firm of Messrs. rom one who had practical experience of station manage- ment a concise statement of the risks which Western pastoralists able €xperience as manager of a pastoral estate, has been gazettec 48 a qualified inspector of stock.

Asa general rule this fact is not due to any inferiority of the soil, but to the saa age oe of the seasons and the scantiness of the rainfall In of the sheep gradually disappear. e Shnabeied of the aieine stock in search of sustenance, and the concentration near permanent supplies of water, have the effect of pulverising the surface of the ound until the soil assumes a flour-like consistency.

It often occurs, too, that in the seare for sustenance in the scrub the necks of the sheep and portions of the back become covered with minute twigs, these together with and coupling. None but those who have experienced droughts in the Western district can realise the misery they entail. The loss is enormous, not only in actual numbers of the stock, but in the failure of increase, and, as already explained, in deterioration in the quality of the wool. Efforts are frequently made to avoid or reduce those losses by sending the sheep to the mountains, or to other localities where pasture is obtainable ; but this course always involves considerable expense and much risk, and frequently results in the loss of a serious proportion of the sheep. In one instance sufficed to keep them alive, and after spending the summer there — nts were started on the return journey: They ha - over 600 — was made to save the ree they died in thousands, and small fraction reached their destination.

The sheep which remain in the West in a bad season depend almost entirely on the scrub, and in a prolonged drought large numbers of men have to be employed for the purpose of cutting down the scrub or beating down the leaves. It is difficult to imagine anything more dis- heartening to a stockowner than the conditions involved in such a state of affairs. Sheep are generally in poor condition when scrub-cutting is resorted to, and it may be assumed that as a rule they become weaker and less able to walk to and from water as it continues. Statistics show that in 1877 the actual loss and de- crease in the number of sheep aniounted to about four millions, in 1884 about six millions, and in 1888 450,000. In addition to this, the loss of increase has to be taken into account. In some cases where there was 80 per cent. of lambs marked, not 9 per cent. has been weaned, and there have been cases in which not a single lamb was saved. From this source alone the loss is enormous. In 1888 there were about nine millions of lambs, from twenty-two millions of ewes, and this on a very moderate estimate meant a loss of two millions ; that is, assuming that in an average season the return of lambs would be 50 per cent. “In the country to which I have been referring, the change from dearth to excess of vegetation is remarkably rapid. If good fall of rain occurs at the proper season the whole face of the country changes within a week. Within a fortnight the grass and herbage are edible, the bush revives, and the scrub shoots afresh, and within a month the pasture is luxuriant. large sum.

(See abridged edition, page 82.) Nature having thus shown the method, and the results of irrigating the native grasses, it is not surprising that enter- prising men were to be found to follow the example. The most striking and successful experiments of this nature are those which have been made on the Lower Lachlan and the Lower Murrum- bidgee, and particularly on the pastoral estates of Mr. James : Tyson. As generally happens in the case of rivers flowing through a alluvia plains, the banks of the lower parts of the rivers mentioned } are higher than the land adjoining. Hence, in order to divert | Supplies of flood-water so as to irrigate by gravitation, it is only Surface. Several cuttings of this kind were made on the Juanbung made under such favourable circumstances is very clearly shown by the figures supplied by Mr. J. L. Gwydir regarding the work of this description done on the Corrong Run. With an expendi- ture of very little over £1,200 Mr. Gwydir succeeded in irrigating over 17,000 acres of grass land during every in the Lachlan. Taking interest and cost of maintenance together at £150 per annum, the cost of irrigating an acre amounted to only three- Seventeenths of a shilling or slightly over 2d. Judging from the Sures given by Mr. Gwydir, it is clear that the profits of the first Year's operation of the works more than covered the entire outlay. Hence it appears that if in this case the irrigation of an acre had Pi oy ate agama eR eke eI tem ict a ee be more fully realised when it is stated that whereas before any : Trrigation of the native . by pumping, at a gross cost of — : . | grasses by pumping, at a gross me About 28, 6d. per acre, has given a very satisfactory return under ES 80 H.

It is scarcely necessary to state that the circumstances unde? | which flooding the land is conducted the Lower Lachlan are ex- ceptionally favourable, but there are many other similar cases to be found in which the profit from irrigation, though, perhaps, not so remarkable, would still afford a very satisfactory return on the outlay. Such cases exist on a large scale on the Murrumbidgee, the Darling, the Macquarie, and the Gwydir, and to some extent on nearly all the other Western rivers. The profitable irrigation of the native grasses is, therefore, not @ : question for debate, but an important and accomplished fact ; and B the only point for consideration in connection with it is the nature of the circumstances under which it is practicable. Remarks ON Rates ror WaTER FOR IRRIGATION. It is impossible to lay down a general rule as to the rate at — which water must be supplied in order to make irrigation remunet- ative. In fact, different crops require different quantities of water. — so that the Indian system of charging according to the nature 0 the crops and the acreage has much in its favour. It may be — assumed that in a fairly well-populated country where a demand — for water exists, irrigation will, as a general rule be confined to — agriculture and horticulture. This state of affairs is best illustrated = in Italy, Spain, France, and India. In the last-mentioned country the crops, for which the highest rates are charged, are sugar-can® RELATION TO THE PASTORAL INDUSTRY OF N.S.W. 8k already pointed out, the last applies to the district irrigable from the Murray and the Murrumbidgee, and in a less degree to some of the other river districts. In such cases, it may be stated generally that if the land can be flooded at the proper season toa depth in. at a cost of ls. per acre a very satisfactory return will be obtained. This is equivalent to stating that the actual quantity of water distributed over the land will be 10,890 cubic system of canals delivering water by gravitation, the cost of water would be much smaller stiJl. A rate of one shilling per acre is been drafted off to the hills at great loss and expense, the pastoralists would gladly have paid a much higher rate than that mentioned for the flooding of parts of their estates. 8,000 acres per day to a depth of 3in. In fact, during the two former months the available supply was much in excess of that mentioned, and a considerable quantity was available in December. _ It is not too much to say that if the system of weirs pro in my Report on Irrigation in Riverina, already referred to, had been in operation during last year, the area of land flooded by that means alone would have exceeded half a million acres.

The approximate estimate of the cost of the weirs was £34,500; but if navigation as far as Hay were provided for, the cost would probably amount to £50,000. In other words, the direct return in two such seasons as last would be equal to the entire outlay, and in addition there would be a great benefit to the navigation. Besides the irrigation which might have been done on the Lower Murrumbidgee, there was during the same months sufficient water to have supplied the proposed canals in the districts on both sides of the river between Wagga and Hay to such extent that 2,000,000 of acres a pasture land could have had a 3 in. flooding after allow- ing for a depth of 12 in. over 40,000 acres of crops. These are erbadeas large figures, and the sceptical New South Wales ee teed suggest exageration, just as an eminent irrigation ndia was surprised at the audacity of any one who expected him to believe that a single pastoral estate in New South Wales frequently includes over a quarter of a million acres. The sceptic who is unable to realise what can or will be done in this . colony in regard to irrigation should visit the canal works on the Goulburn in Victoria. He will there find under construction an x irrigation canal 110 ft. wide at the bottom, and with slopes ofone and a-half to one. He will also find under construction a weir ; Goulburn from that under construction. The canal in progress may, when running full, be reckoned on to flood 12,000 acres per day to a depth of three inches The system of flooding the eaten land which has been referred q to is merely an extension on a large scale of the system carried out already on the Corrong and J uanbung runs. In addition to the proposed large irrigation works from the Murrumbidgee and the Murray, the same system can be followed on a large scale oD the Darling, Macquarie, and Lachlan, and, in fact, on the but . parts of nearly all of our Western rivers.

As regards the Macquarie, in particular, T poin out in a report to the Water Commission in May, 1885, after making an inspection of that river and the country adjacent to it, that “the Ma equarie afford kably f; able conditions for the diversion and storage of floodwater.” The report added that “In the district lying between the Macquarie and the Bogan advantageously constructed in the Macquarie, and referred to one Place where a large quantity of flood water could be stored.

Comparing this total catchment with the effective catchments of the Macquarie and Namoi, we find that it is less than one-seventh of the former and considerably less than one-third of the latter. In the hilly portion of the Macquarie the mean rainfall is over in., and in the corresponding portion of the basin of the Namoi it is nearly 224in. From the available information, it ‘ appears doubtful whether the average rainfall on the upper parts of the basin of the Wimmera exceeds that on the Macquarie or the Namoi ; and it may therefore be assumed that, roughly speaking, the discharge of these rivers is in proportion to their effective catchment areas. The Wimmera scheme, as already mentioned, - was designed to afford a supply to an area of 2750 square miles, and there is little doubt that expectation on this head will realised if not exceeded. The tract of country between the mount, which will give double the supply. Judging, then, from the result achieved in the Wimmera district, itis a fair conclusion ious expenditure of £300,000 in diverting supplies Macquarie and distributing them through the district between that river and t e Bogan would result in increasing t value of the land by about 3} millions sterling.

In addition, 19 applications for the formation of Irrigation Trusts were under consideration at the date mentioned, the gross area affected by them being 1,401,780 acres, of which it was estimated that 1,122,849 acres could be irrigated. .A numher of these Trusts have since then been authorised. In the accompanying map of New South Wales I have marked the areas in which irrigation can be carried on under advantageous circumstances. The boundaries of these areas are in most cases once show how discreditable to local enterprise are the famine prices frequently paid for hay, and the importation of Victorian hay and chaff as far as to the Murrumbidgee and occasionally even to the Lachlan. On this subject I may again quote the opinion of Mr. Mair, of Groongal, as given by him to the Water 5. “M mmission in 188 In the light of the facts and opinions referred to, it is abun- dantly evident that by a judicious use of the means at hand we. could, within a few years, enormously increase the productiveness of the whole of.the Western part of the colony. On this subject the following conclusions ived at by the Water Commission after a very extended inspection of the country andan exhaustive inquiry into its capabilities :—“ 1. That on water conservation — mainly depend the prosperity and the development of the whole extent of the Central and Western Divisions of this colony, and = that though less required in the Eastern Division, it will addin many places there also in an important degree to the productive d h Principal IrriGaBLE AREAS IN New SoutH WALES. . RELATION TO THE PASTORAL INDUSTRY OF N.S.W. 89 conservation in this colony and particulary in the country west of Dividing Range, is for irrigation. 4. That the purposes for which irrigation is chiefly required, are (a) to provide fodder and grain for horses, cattle, and stud sheep ; .(b) to afford surplus supplies ept in reserve for saving stock of all kinds in bad seasons ; (c) to produce fruit, vegetables, and miscellaneous crops ; and (d) to increase generally the productive powers of the land. 5. That any well-considered and properly executed project for irrigation in the country west of the Dividing Range would afford a good direct return on the capital invested, and would be a distinct benefit to the colony at large. 6. That legislation on the subject of water rights is a matter of pressing necessity, both to protect the rights of the State and to foster and encourage local and private enterprise.” : The correctness of these conclusions is beyond dispute, and is thoroughly borne out by the experience of Victoria, where the extension of irrigation is proceeding by rapid strides as alread mentioned. Competent authorities are of opinion that the rapid development of the country districts in that colony, and the re- : munerative returns of the railways, are due to water conservation : and irrigation in a much greater degree than is generally under- . stood on this side of the Murray. t ben A severe drought not only occasions eno s loss in stock during the time it lasts, but frequently leads to the loss of returns for one or even two succeeding yea or instance Temoved elsewhere. On my next visit I found the grass from lft. to 2ft. in height, but there was no stock to eat it, as store sheep and cattle were not to be had at remunerative prices. Cases of this kind are by no means uncommon, and they serve to show the importance of the indirect losses arising from droughts, and to illustrate the causes of uncertainty of the pastoral industry under present conditions. Want or LEGISLATION. test obstacle in the way of irrigation is the want of : « Trrigs 90 H. G. M KINNEY.— IRRIGATION IN ITS of dams which have been constructed and guarded by armed men, of other dams which, after construction in this way by one armed mob, have been cut through by another; of many cases where ites were needful, but were not built through fear of litigation ; and of the purchase of extensive ~~ plant which frequently lies idle for the same reason.” This is still the state of affairs in New South Wales; but as the metciahine for - legislation is now universally admitted, it is hoped that the question will soon be o suitably dealt with. As matters at present stand nothing can legally be done towards utilising the available supply of water for irrigation. In this matter the people of this colony are placed in the same position as the Government and people of Victoria are in regard to the River Murray. The interests and the necessities _ of many of our most enterprising western landholders have 0 weighed their respect for the law, and so it has been with the Government and people of Victoria in the case of the River Murray. Were it not for this disregard of the law on the part of a number of our pastoralists in the Central and Western Divisions of this colony it might be stated with considerable reason that Australian enterprise in the devlonnens of the land is bounded on the north by the River Murray. Necessity or AN Examininc Boarp For ENGINEERS. It is very desirable that legislation dealing with riparian rights and the constitution of water trusts should also aber for the appointment of an examining board of engineers of recogni standing, who would decide as to the qualifications peceaes for engineers to water trusts. A board of this description has been — the Water Supply Department. This arrangement isan im measure of protection both to the public and to qualified hydraulic a engineers. Some time ago we had a Royal Commission to inqui into abuses in the medical profession. More recently we have — | read and heard much about abuses among architects, and the only” = reason why we have heard little about abuses among civil engineers: is that, owing to the existing system of centralisation, private and local enterprises are checked and limited, whilst nearly all the available STs vamRER for civil engineers is monopolised by _ cate t. a It cannot be too widely known that any person who pleases can style himself “doctor,” “civil engineer,” “architect,” or “surveyor,” i tors’ mistakes d0 ere eae 2 Se Sa MeO tiie Fear ea nee a eerste 4 RELATION TO THE PASTORAL INDUSTRY OF N.S.W. Sf act as a deterrent to private enterprise to an extent which few can realise. It is therefore, very important that in dealing comprehensively with water conservation, the Government should opt e such safeguard as that in operation in Victoria. When irrigation began to be extensively practised in that colony it was soon found that proper surveys and levels were required to show the lines which channels should take, and the best methods of distributing the water. Even the holders of farms of moderate extent found it greatly to their interest to obtain this information. There are in this colony some station managers who are really good practical engineers, and who are quite capable of managing Irrigation work themselves ; but these are only a small minority. AS a general rule, station owners and station managers know little or nothing of the process of irrigation, and this is only natural. The greatest mischief to the cause of irrigation is done by those who, without reason, imagine that they understand the subject. Such persons occasionally launch into a series of reckless and mis- directed experiments, and after finding such experiments a decided failure financially, they come to the conclusion that the conditions of the country are unfavourable to irrigation. It is necessary to add that cases of this kind are extremely rare, owing simply to. the fact, that even with indifferent management and appliances, lrigation gives good returns. ; Causes or Backwarp Strate oF WaTER CONSERVATION. ock, from blame in this matter.

The following figures, illustrating the importance of the subject dealt with in this paper, speak for themselves :—Number of sheep in New South Wales on December 31, 1886, 39,169,000 ; number of sheep in New South Wales on December 31, 1887, 46,965,152; number of sheep in New South Wales on December 31 8, 46,503,469.

Any one who is acquainted with the portions of the : colony referred to, must appreciate the exhaustive way in which r. M’Kinney has argued the question out. I am tolerably acquainted with a portion of the country he has referred to, and 2 consequently his remarks have been of the greatest interest to me, and have bo i i as the Nile of Australia of the future. I believe from the fertility of the land it will be capable of growing almost any sort of produce. Tam very glad to hear Mr. M’Kinney’s calculations as to the amount of fodder which that narrow strip would grow for the purpose of keeping alive the stock over all the vast district adjacent. In addition to the river itself, there are many lakes running back from the river which would form reservoirs for flood Waters which could be used when the river falls. The river itself in its natural state does not contain a very great quantity of water as a general rule. I remember hearing ofa case in which a gentleman at a station was irrigating some land—pumping up water from the river by means of a power pump—and after a few days’ pumping he found he had lowered the river locally by about two feet, the country being so level and the flow so low—he had actually made a hole in the river as it were. With regard to the Portion of the colony between the Macquarie and the Bogan there can be no doubt, so far as distribution is concerned, this isa most favourable part of the colony for irrigating the country, as it is so The difficulty was to find any portion of the surface at all the level of the water. The grass showed just above 94 DISCUSSION. water, so that we could see where we were going, and as I say we travelled almost through a layer of water three to four inches country, and of what happens in time of drought. But as only a comparatively small portion of this vast pastoral country can be directly benefitted by irrigation, only a small portion being capable of being irrigated, various supplementary methods of preserving the lives of the stock should be adopted. Of course one obvious method is that mentioned by Mr. M’Kinney, that the more — RQ ia ct ot ° rau in ® Stee, plenty of grass.

Then they could be taken back again for the lambing by which time there ought to be a growth of grass, rain generally being expected about February or March. By this means pastoral industry would be rendered more of a certainty and less of a lottery ; and many more sheep to the acre could be carried all the year round by utilising the plain country and the mountainous country together—working the two in conjunction. Then of course the system of feeding the sheep on artificial fodder could be most usefully adopted. This has been a most serious item during the prevalence of droughts in the Darling River. In one place no less than £1,200 was spent during the year in pro- O to feed my horses 25s. At another place lower down the horses : were being kept alive on flour. The river ceased to become necessity of having more than one system in working the pastoral Industry. No doubt the irrigation system is the most important, and if the railway communication of this district were made to fit ™m with that particular industry it would be rendered much more certain and profitable, and especially stock would be kept alive with a much greater degree of certainty. Professor E. H. Renniz.—I listened with a great amount of Pleasure to the reading of this paper. I would like to refer to one aspect of the question to which allusion was made, that is to the possibility of interference with the navigation of the lower 96 DISCUSSION. that when the river is locked water is kept in it throughout a greater portion of the year, He thought that the locking of the Darling would tend to keep the waters in the lower Darling and the Murray. ; Mr. J.

He sincerely hoped that during the _ next session of Parliament a Bill would be introduced by the Government a Mr. P. N.

W. was held at the Society’s House, at 8 p.m. At the invitation of the President and Council upwards of one hundred members were abtead and spent the evening pleasantly in conversation and in ” nspecting a variety of exhibits of a scientific character. Mr. Russell, the Government Astronomer, aes an interesting chart of 16 drawings of Jupiter, four for each of the years 1876, | 80, ’85, and ’89.’ These it may be mentioned, were wdlsctad from upwards of two hundred drawings of the planet made by him since 1876. Each set served to show the markings on the whole circumference of the planet, and displayed in a very striking way the great changes which go on in it from year to year. For s instance, in 1876, Mr. Russell explained, there was a great exten- sion of the equatorial belts, so much so that the great red spot was included, and formed as it were a part of them, By 1878 they contracted so that the spot was outside of them, and in 1880 they had their minimum extent and became very sharply defined extent as in 1885, and they are remarkable for the absence of diagonal markings, which are replaced ne : idee pink surface between the main belts, looking very m ike red clouds ; and the red spot has become very faint, and soot is a striking display of dark, almost black, patches on the side opposite the Ted spot. Mr. Russell further exhibited the driving clock for the star photo telescope, which is remarkable for its size, and for an entirely new method of electrical control, which obliges the wheels to keep | * the difference between the rainfalls of 1887 and 1888 were also lent by Mr. Russell. oo rofessor Stuart placed on view his recently invented “kymo- — Scopes,” baistiriata for illustrating the physical phenomena ot the circulation of the blood and for ‘demonstrating ¢ the interference ~ of wave motion. A third exhibit was a model showing the ac tion of the chest on the heart, a model from which the Lserens! arg d 158 PROCEEDINGS. that even though the heart be stopped artificial respiration should still be continued, for the movement of the chest in respiration not only drew air in but pushed air out of the chest, and also exercised an efficient mechanical action upon the heart itself, and carried on the circulation of the blood. The lesson to be learn from such a model was, he said, that even for a considerable time race. By the courtesy of the Mines Department, a number of excellent fossils from the Geological Museum were displayed. These were extinct marsupials from post-tertiary ossiferous clays near Myal ‘Creek, Bingera,” descriptions of which are contained in the pub- lished “ Records of the Geological Survey of New South Wales.” Mr. Wilkinson, the Government Geologist, placed on view @ map prepared by the Department of Mines and Water Supply, Professor Liversidge exhibited a polished section through the Thunda Meteorite from Queensland, and a model of the complete Meteorite before cutting. Mr. Hargrave exhibited his new type of engine for a screw- driven Flying-machine. Mr. Hamlet, the Government Analyst, exhibited a new burglars’ rm. Mr. T. F. Weissener exhibited one of Edison’s phonographs, and a number of recent microscopic instrumen Professor Warren, the recording portion of his testing machine. Professor Threlfall, methods of testing the speed of sound waves. The following gentlemen also kindly assisted by the loan of exhibits :—Messrs. 8. Cornwell, two microscopes and spectroscope ; . J.

LIST OF THE MARINE AND FRESH-WATER INVER- TEBRATE FAUNA OF PORT JACKSON AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD. By Tuomas Wurteteccr, F.R.M.S. [Read before the Royal Society of N.S.W., July 3, 1889.] ‘THE following list, although in the main a compilation, contains the result of some years dheervation and research. The subject is a wide one and almost too much for any one person to accomplish single handed, however I ee attempted to bring together all that is known in reference rf ur somewhat ne glected hater dan so : fact that the books are not in the pas eat pains have _teliable. The greatest difficulty I have had to contend with, has. : nen the want of works of reference and the amount of unworked 164 THOMAS WHITELEGGE.—MARINE AND FRESH-WATER material, which had to be examined before I could proceed, and I may say that the greater part of my time has been spent in work- ing out species, many of them very common but never hitherto determined. e Foraminifera, Infusoria, Alcyonaria, Actinide, Hydroida, Echinodermata and Polyzoa in the Marine part, and the Rhizopoda, Infusoria, and Rotifera in the Fresh-water portion of this list will, if attentively examined, show to some extent the amount of work S species obtained by some of the early naturalists who visited our coast. I have also madé many special journeys, so as to be enabled to give a definite habitat for some of the more interesting species. The classification generally followed in the arrangement of the subject is that given in Claus and Sedgwick’s Text Book of Zoology, and in the various classes I have taken as near as possible, that used by acknowledged authorities or specialists in each branch. After each species enumerated there follows one or more references ~ to the book or paper in which a description may be found, with the number of the volume, page, plate, figure and the habitat or locality where each species may be obtained. The Foraminifera are well represented in our waters by 127 species, and from what I have seen I believe there are still large: additions to be made in this very interesting field of observation. - The Radiolaria are few in number and comparatively rare, have seen about four species, obtained in the tow net near the eads. with them, and the few mentioned in this list are what I have seen when examining other objects. Seven species are herein recorded. The Sponge Fauna of Port Jackson has had a considerable amount of attention, and the results are to be found in the Cata- logue of Sponges in the Australian Museum, by Dr. von Lendenfeld, in the various Challenger Reports by Polejaeff, Vos- maer, Messrs. Ridley and Dendy, and in the Zoology of the * Alert” by 8. O. Ridley. Most of the Sponges in the Australian Museum have been obtained through the liberality of the trustees of that Institution, who have provided funds for systematic dredging and trawling for many years past. se operations under the able direction of Dr. Ramsay, the Curator, have yielded valuable . INVERTEBRATE FAUNA OF PORT JACKSON AND NEIGHBOURHOOD. 165 results, not only in sponges, but in many other branches of marine oology, and great credit is due to Dr. Ramsay for his efforts in this direction, the material collected by him having provided a rich field of investigation to Dr. Lendenfeld. ‘ The Alcyonarian corals, embracing the Gorgonias and Pennatulas are fairly represented, 29 species being enumerated. What little as been done in this order is however very scattered and frag- mentary, and the descriptions are imperfect in most instances ] S some 20 species readily obtainable. The corals have been mostly worked out by the late Rev. J. E. Tenison- Woods, and considering our geographical position, muster very fairly with 13 species, which will, no doubt, be largely added when systematic dredging is carried on in deep water outside s recently, I found about seven species new to our coast, and six or seven new to science ; this shows that in a field, comparatively speaking well worked, there is still a vast amount of investigation to be done. The Crinoidea or feather stars are not very numerous, five Species only being known from Port Jackson, two of which are of the harbour. The Asteroidea number 30 species, and amongst them are many 166 THOMAS WHITELEGGE.—MARINE AND FRESH-WATER thus offering a fit subject for study to the student, in which the various stages of development can be easily observed and specimens may be obtained in abundance for at least eight months in the year. The Echinoidea are represented by 29 species, a few being con- fined to Port Jackson, five may be said to be fairly common, an * the rest are more or less rare. For our knowledge of the Echini we are indebted to the late Rev. J. E. Tenison-Woods and Dr. E. P. Ramsay. The Holothurioidea have only been partially worked, and it is probable that there are many more ‘species than the 16 herein mentione The Marine Worms have been partly dealt with by Dr. Haswell, but there remains a vast amount of work still to be done in this somewhat neglected class. I have to thank him for much valu- able information relating to the fauna of Port Jackson generally, and the worms in particular, also for his having kindly revised the sy and at the same time added many species to the list e Crustacea have also been worked out by Dr. Haswell] in a additions made chiefly through the collections of the “Challenger and of the ‘“ Alert,” together with some few added by myself. The lower orders of the class have been dealt with by the authors of — the various Rae oo! Reports and the total number of species now reco s 367. To Dr. Haswell, indebtedness is due Sadoriintion: reebacthtig the Pyenogonida or sea-spiders, four out of Mr. . Skuse for the marine insects mentioned. The Mollusca appear to have had more attention paid to them than any of the other invertebrates. It would have been almost impossible for me to have done justice to this section, had T not for information aa dite many other branches of marine zoology. The Molluscoidea are fairly represented, but there still remains much to be done in this group. The Polyzoa have to a great extent been worked out by Mr. A. W. Waters, chiefly from material collected by Mr. Brazier. | The Tunicata are not well represented considering the number of forms to be seen on our rocky shores. The species enumerated are taken chiefly from the list contained in the UVeyags of the Chal- nee ” by Prof. Herdman, who has in hand a -~ collection. INVERTEBRATE FAUNA OF PORT JACKSON AND NEIGHBOURHOOD. 167 from Port Jackson, the detailed description of which will, when published, no doubt add largely to the number of species. The freshwater faunais not very well represented, the Rhizopoda, Infusoria, and Rotifera are only in part worked out, and there are very many more species with which I am acquainted but have not had time to investigate sufficiently to include them in this list. Beyond a few exhibits recorded in the Proceedings of the Royal and Linnean Societies of New South Wales, there has been little or nothing done in regard to the above mentioned classes, and most of those recorded have been worked out by myself for this paper. The Planarians, Oligochaeta, and other classes of King, but since his papers were published little has been done. Mr. G.S. Brady has described some from the Tweed River district in the Proceedings of the Zoological Society, and Prof. Sars of with books, notes, and many of the habitats herein recorded. In conclusion, I desire to say that it has been my best endeavour to render this list as complete as possible, and if any grave mistakes have been made in assigning species to wrong genera or families, I venture to hope that specialists will overlook such, since it is no easy task to make a compilation from so many different authors.

This is a fine new species which ma possibly form the type of a new genus when fully investi- gated. It forms social clusters nearly 4 of inch in ates the clusters are situated on the end of a long peduncle stalk which is as long or slightly longer than the dialictet of the cluster. The fo oot of each rotifer i is drawn out into a fine filament, the united filaments forming the peduncle. Attached to the leaves and stems of Myriophyllum in a waterhole behind Mount Steel, Moore Park about 50 yards past the spot where some boring for coal took place some years ago; also in the water reserve off Bunnerong Road I have only seen this species on two occasions; it appears to live in shallow grassy pools, and only lives for a short time.

This metal was recently found in a ferruginous felspathic lode- stuff obtained from the Broken Hill district, the specimens 1n ~ question yielding on assay as follows :— , I. Ochreous felspathic lode-stuffi—Platinum at the rate of 1 oz. 9 dwts. 9 grs. per ton. II. Compact ferruginous claystone.—Platinum at the rate of 6 dwts. 12 grs. per ton. III. Ferruginous felspathic rock stained green with carbonate of copper.—Platinum a heavy trace (under 5 grs. per ton). The last two samples yielded a minute trace of gold. From a geological point of view the occurrence of the metal platinum in lode material is one of great interest, this being the first case on record in this colony of it having been found other- wise than in alluvial deposits ; and I think I may say the second elsewhere. The metal is evidently in a very fine state of division as on panning off a quantity of the mineral it was found extremely difficult to save the platinum, hence it will be a very hard matter to concentrate the material, and a grave question as to whether it can be profitably extracted : the metal being worth about 28s. to 30s. per oz. in the crude state. the Richmond River, yielding 5 grains per ton, and gold at ret rate of 1 dwt. 5 grs. per ton..

Thomson, in article No. 6, Vol. 111., of this Society’s Journal for the year 1869, so that reference can easily be made thereto for any information of @ geological character. All the lime now burnt is obtained at Kingsdale about four miles from Goulburn, and although quarries — have been opened at Baw Baw and Rossiville, places almost the same distance from Goulburn, and on the same line of country ; they are not at present being worked. Large quantities are burnt for building purposes, the lime being used not only in the district, but also being sent to Sydney. The stone is light grey in colour, hard and crystalline and intet- spersed with white veins, it loses over one third its weight ™ burning and its specific gravity is about 2°82. It exists in large quantities, but is not quarried to any great depth, probably ai cost of cartage from the quarry makes the getting too expensive if taken from more than a moderate depth. : : The process of burning is carried on simply in open flare kilns on the intermittent system, that is to say, the kilns are charged, — * (Compte Rendu, xxxi., 495.)

Joun Marnew, M.A., Coburg, Victoria. [With Plate and Map.] [Read before the Royal Society, N.S.W., December 4, 1889.] PREFATORY NOTE. OBLIGATIONS have been generally acknowledged by exact refer- ences in loco, but the writer desires to express special indebtedness to the work of his friend, the late Mr. E. M. Curr, on “The Australian Race,” which from its comprehensiveness and especially from its abundant vocabularies has been 0 very great service, although some of Mr. Curr’s main conclusions have been widely different from those enunciated in this essay. ; THE ORIGIN OF THE AUSTRALIAN RACE. In entering upon a study of the Australian Aborigines, the question “ Who are they ?” meets one upon the very threshold. Is the common belief correct that the dusky barbarians whose last ca : y y qs immante to the distinction, but without any desire or hope of Priving them of the title it will be easy to prove that it does v : nce: e upon the hypothesis that the Australians were of mixed apuan — Malay blood.

JOHN MATHEW. people of India, and he argues that in Australia and Tasmania three different races have combined, two of these being black the other light brown or yellow (jaune). One of the black races was of short stature and brachycephalic or mesaticephalic, the other tall and dolichocephalic, while the third or yellow race was h dolicho-cephalic. The Tasmanians he regards as the issue of the two first, the Australians of the two last. The brachiocephalic race he identifies with the Negrito, the dolichocephalic with the Papuan, and the fair race with the Malay. His conclusion is based almost exclusively upon premises derived from craniometry which according to Huxley is of little or no value for determining racial origin. If the Papuans of New Guinea and of Tasmania respectively be classed as different races, Iam not’ disposed to deny absolutely that two dark races and not one only, have formed the basis of the Australian race, because, as will be demonstrated, it is certain that people of the Tasmanian type have left traces in most parts of the continent and it is anything but improbable that a sprinkling of New Guineans should have affected the population in the 3 ° eS “ @ ry m = ee) g et Fs ct = © ° aS oe 5 © 5 cr. = & or by) é M a > M. de Quatrefages held that the Tasmanians were a pure distinct race. r.

What i : ‘ a large degree, a mixture of Malay and Papuan blood with the latter element so much predominating as to justify the old geo- Sraphers’ designating the Australians Papuans ? a He theory which the writer enunciates accounts for the diti- culties which give rise to these divergent views and may be stated briefly as follows :—Australia was first occupied by a homo- Seneous people, a branch of the Papuan family, and closely related the. Negroes. The came from the north, but whether from New Guinea or any other island of the Eastern Archipelago is a | Matter of indifference and impossible to decide, as probably at the- Phe ‘Austratian» Race, Vor: tp. 189; Vol. m., p. 604. 338 REV. JOHN MATHEW. time of their arrival the islands to the north were all inhabited by people of the same blood. These first-comers, the veritable Australian Aborigines, occupied all the continent, and having spread right across to the southern shores they crossed, what is now Bass’ Strait, but which at that distant date may have been dry land, and their migration terminated in Tasmania. Then followed one invasion, if not two, by hostile people of much fairer complexion. The un-Papuan element now discernible in the Australian race is not the trace of one pure race, but is these the Dravidian was the first to arrive, the Malay coming later, and in a desultory way by detachments at irregular intervals. It is more convenient than accurate to designate one of these components as Dravidian, it would be more precise to speak of it as of the same stock as the Dravidian, or perhaps better still as Central Indian. There are features’ observable in Australian marriage laws and indelibly fixed in Australian language which attest a real affinity between the Australians and the people of Southern and Central India. The difterent batches of fair-skinned linguistic evidence I incline to think that the people, who for convenience may be called Dravidians, first touched on the north- west coast about the part now known as the Kimberley District and advanced inland, eastward and southward. It seems to me that this ingredient of the population came not in one boat-load, but in an unintermittent stream for many years, probably being forced southwards through Java and Timor by the attacks of a more powerful race. Coming as a later off-shoot from the first home of humanity, this invading band was of higher intelligence and better equipped for conflict than the indigenes of Australia. Physically they were more lithe and wiry and of taller stature. ey were lighter in colour, though a dark race, less hirsute and the hair of their head was perfectly straight. Their language was not very dissimilar in phonology, but differed greatly in vocabulary. There is a natural highway easily traversed across Australia from the shores of the Gulf of Carpentaria to the south, by first ascend- ing the rivers on the northern watershed and then descending those on the southern watershed until the ocean is reached at the —part they would destroy, the remainder would keep retiring: The stream of invasion would here and there send forth brane which reaching the coast at various points would rebound ¢ THE AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINES. 339 eddy backwards. If this process of settlement corresponds to fact we should expect to find greater differences in appearance, language and customs between the people of the interior and the people of the coast, than between those on the seaboard at points widely apart. Neglecting irregularities, which must be anticipated to occur here and there owing to inequality of distribution of the population, we should expect to find a shading more or less marked from the interior outwards, in complexion, physique, and other respects; the outer fringe of population, excepting along the north and north-west coasts, being most distinctly Papuan. And the facts correspond with the requirements sufficiently close to strongly support the above hypothesis. As regards Malay incursions, while there may have been a continuous intercourse between Malays and Australians on the north chiefly to the west of the Gulf, there are not wanting ® indications of occasional descents of Malay parties—even on the east coast—forming, if not colonies at least centres of influence, which have left unquestionable traces on the Australian language. The theory of occupation which I have sketched widely differs from that propounded by Mr. Curr, who supposes that one boat- load of people might have been the progenitors of the whole race. He assumes that the landing was made near Port Darwin and that afterwards the aborigines were by pressure of circumstances (\\) Ditto, ditto, p. 18. . | THE AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINES. 343 Stanbridge speaks * of isolated cases of woolly hair among the men.

I have heard of similar cases else- where, and have known one or two in southern Queensland. Mr. Bonwick* quotes Mr. Earl as saying regarding Coburg Peninsula in the north-west of Australia, “the aboriginal inhabi- tants of this part of Australia very closely resemble the Papuans of New Guinea, or which is almost the same thing, the aborigines of Van Diemen’s Land,” and on the next page Mr. Oldfield is credited with stating that the Papuan race is still shewing through the Australian in a part of Western Australia, “the tribes,” he says, “inhabiting the country from Murchison River to Shark’s Bay possess more characteristics of the N egro family than the aborigines of any part of Australia.” To the above evidence, attesting the greater prominence of Papuan characters in Western Australia let the following be added to shew the existence of a decided Papuan fringe at least on the south-eastern and western coasts with a departure from it landwards and in the north. Of some fishing tribes Mr. Curr sayst that they have very frizzy hair. Mr. A. W. Howitt speaking of Cooper’s Creek blacks says,t “the aborigines don’t differ much in appearance from the coast blacks, their hair is straighter and I think they are slighter in I shall now conclude the argument from physiology by adducing ed ich, as might 8 teal Life of the Tasmanians, p. 262. e Australi ace, Vol. 1., p. 39. : 7 Mr. R.

Ridley speaks of having met with the _ Jewish nose among the Australian blacks. The fact is so obvious Island, one especially whose features had a Jewish cast, and reminded him of the popular picture of Abraham. So that besides by the resemblances already noted the Australians and Tasmanians are related by the family likeness of the Jewish Papuan nose.

Out of their enmities and final agreement arose the two classes as has been said, and r. The man with the straight hair he called Ber-rook Boorn, the man with the curled hair Koo-kin Ber-rook. There is also a myth about Bundjel (or Pundjel) the first man jel made. They they made a great light in the air and they sang. And then there was a fight with spears between Bundjel and Karween, the former being victor. The following legend was current on the Murray.

These birds had as much intelligence and wisdom as the blacks, nay, some say that they were altogether wiser and more skilful. The eagle-hawk seems to have been the chief among the birds, and next to him in authority was the crow. he progenitors of the existing tribes, whether birds, or beasts, or men, were set in the sky and made to shine as stars if the deeds they had done were mighty. The eagle is now the planet Mars, and justly so, because he was much given to fighting; the crow is also a star. The Murray blacks have it that the crow killed the son of the eagle. This made the eagle very angry, so he set a trap for the crow, caught him and killed him, but the crow came to life again and disappeared. The Gippsland blacks vary the legend by saying that the eagle kangaroos were feeding ; and the mophawk was to have the right of occupying holes of trees: thus ended the disputes between the eagle and the m k. e Rev. Geo. Taplin relates some myths of the Narrinyeri in South Australia, similar to the above.* N urundere was the wonderful god or chief of this tribe.

The prevalence of the designation of men by names of the lower animals is amply illustrated in the Old Testament scriptures. Take for instance the case of Jacob blessing his children* where Judah is a “lion’s whelp,” Issachar “‘a strong ass,” Dan “a serpent. by the way an adder in the path,” Naphtali ‘a hind let loose,” Benjamin “a ravening wolf.” In the book of Daniel} the Empires. are typified by four beasts.

But even if it be conceded that the Tasmanians used their axes without handles, the admission does not in the least invalidate € present argument as to their origin, for we find that the natives of the northern tributaries of the river Darling do not in all cases attach handles to their stone hatchets, but many use them in the same manner as the Tasmanians used their rough stone tools. + It is of more consequence to note the difference in the mode of forming the large stone tools. Tasmania they were always chipped to an edge, in Australia they were almost universally ground and polished. But even here exceptions in Australia indicate a former more primitive manufacture. The chipped stone tools of the Tasmanian are Paleolithic, while the usual ground ones of the Australian are Neolithic, but while only the one kind (Paleolithic) is found in Tasmania, both kinds are found side by side on the mainland, a state of things which indicates in the one case the existence of but one human stratum and in the other the existence of more than one. “If therefore,” says} Mr. Brough Smyth, “all the stone implements and weapons of the Australians be examined, one set might be put apart and cla as the equivalents of those of the Paleolithic period of Europe, and another set as the equivalents of those of the Neolithic, a man ot one tribe will have in his belt a tomahawk ground and highly Polished over the whole of its surface, and not far distant from his country a people will use for tomahawks stones made by striking off flakes.” I cannot refrain from quoting here the same writer’s conclusions based upon difference of arms used by the two peoples. ‘‘The serene ee -_ - *Mr. Brough Smyth’s Aborigines of Victoria, Vol. 11., p- ; 400; + p. 403. + Mr. Smyth’s The Aborigines of Victoria, Vol. 1., p. 55; 3 Intro. p. iv.

For instance, it has been shown above that in certain parts of Australia the tomahawks are used without handles and in other parts the shield and boomerang are unknown and the weapons are unadorned. Mr. Smyth assumes that the Australians do not throw their clubs, but they do. The club was the proper weapon of the Kabi tribe of Queensland (as of others no doubt) for hunting the kangaroo, and they usually hurled it in the chase. And moreover, we are and implements there were almost universally improyed. ,... One instrument, and a very important one, extensively used by the two nations has hitherto been overlooked as evidence of their kinship, I refer to the rope for climbing trees. It is hardly a mere coincidence that this rare and most valuable device should be found on both sides of Bass Strait. The material of ‘which the rope was made differed in different localities in both countries, but the mode of use, and the skill of climbing by its aid were pretty In Tasmania the rope was made of kangaroo sinews or grass twisted, and handles were attached. At Twofold Bay in New South Wales the material of which it is made is the fibre of some vegetable, and here the rope is also provided with wooden * The Aborigines of Victoria, Vol. 11., p. 401. - . , + History of Tasmania, Vol. 11., p. 86.

The Tasmanians had also baskets like those of the natives of the continent, and the ovens so common in Victoria are said to be found occasionally in Tasmania. + Tne ARGUMENT FROM CUSTOMS. When we compare the customs we find a very marked resem- blance, in fact it may be truthfully said that such customs as are universal in Australia were all followed in Tasmania. The dwell- ings of the two peoples were identical. Of the Tasmanians it is said,t “ Their huts were of bark, half-circular, gathered at the top and supported by stakes.” For houses they also made break-winds of boughs formed in the shape of a crescent with a fire burning in the open space in front, and near Pieman’s River on the west coast of Tasmania, “one tribe was discovered living in a village of bark huts or break-winds of a better description than usual.” || These notices form also a perfect description of the dwellings on the mainland. : The following practices were common to both peoples: initiatory rites to manhood, enforced abstinence from certain kinds of food,. remedial bleeding, the wearing as charms the bones of deceased ees notches and also of a climbing rope, submitting to the penalty of receiving strokes from a club or casts of spears without self-defence as expiation of nces against the tribe, making the women ts _ to establish of itself, a very intimate, if remote connection.

The proximate cause of the difference just noted appears to be a more decided residual Papuan element in Victorian speech than in the dialects further north. Of the latter let the Kabi dialect of Queensland, spoken in the Bunya Mountains, stand as a special example. It has no word beginning either with ‘ l or ‘r.’ Its terminal letters are limited eg Ratt ekg ie ees In general it may be said that such combinations as ‘ bl,’ ‘br,’ ‘gr,’ common enough in Victoria, are of very rare occurrence in the north.

Among the Tasmanians some tribes had numerals for one and two cas in which case the numerical system must necessarily have been binary, but others had distinct terms up to five inclusive. One form however which is given as the equivalent of five seems to be a repetition of the term for one along with the term for four, this is the view which. Dr. F.

In al word for hand is ‘buka.’ The word ‘beera, (or words almost identical) still signifies hand or fingers in the south of Queensland, on the Bogan River in New South Wales, and in Gippsland, Victoria.

In presenting the Victorian-Tasmanian analogies, which are very numerous, embracing nearly all the words of the preceding which first arrested my attention. As initial ‘1’ was a notable feature of the Victorian dialects distinguishing them from those of New South Wales and Queensland and was alsoa peculiar feature having the same initial, I find so large a number in the one set, evidently identical with words in the other as to be very surprising, especially when we think of the length of time which must have elapsed since the lines of language divaricated. I have therefore come to the conclusion that Victorian words with ‘1’ initial are lineal descendants of the primitive Papuan. . ; It is one of the recognised tests of the truth of a hypothesis that it opens the door to facts other than what was first discovered by it. This test can be applied to verify the phen: se . . : . e,? ] ¢ ; y on in Tasmania, ‘1’ and English consonantal -y’ have been at one time confused and perhaps coalescing and interchangeable sounds.

The writer ventures to affirm that future research will only tend to corroborate the opinion which he has here enunciated and endeavoured to establish, namely, that Tasmania was first peopled from the Victorian shores. The point from which the emigrants left the mainland was probably Wilson’s Promontory, from which a string of islands runs like stepping stones across the strait which were perhaps at one time larger and more numerous than they are now if they did not form an isthmus. It does not follow, however, that the most distinct vestiges of the old Papuan Australians should be found at this point. From phlei class of dialect extends on a line up the Murrumbidgee and em- braces a large tract of country between this river and the Lachlan above their junction Having now dutachiatrwiad; beyond all question it is hoped, that the Tasmanians were the ineal descendants of the primitive Australian race, that the substratuin of the modern Australians is Papuan of the same blood as the Tasmanians, and, as might naturally be expected, that the quarter of Au stralia which lies nearest to Tasmania retains most distinctly traces of the indigenes, the next duty is to attempt to disentangle and identify the other elements which go to constitute the Australian race as it now 1s.

But the fact that they came so near to the southern continent is an indication perhaps of the track of the line of least resistance to a fugitive people, at all events their migration hints at the channel along which might have flowed former streams of humanity expelled from India or its neighbourhood by irresistible termini of like features.

The sum of these particulars is contained in the following proposition which is equally true for both peoples, and holds in it the root principle of the system of kin :—“A being a Male his brother’s children are considered his own children, his Sister’s children are his nephews and nieces, his sister's grand- children as well as his brothers are considered his grand-children.”* . be a female, then with the interchange of the terms brother’s’ and ‘sister’s’ the proposition is also true.

This may or may not be the reason for the appearance of the ‘n,’ but the common form of the preterite in Kabi, Wiradhuri and other Australian dialects terminates in ‘n.’ In the Dravidian the accent is on the first syllable.

If the frame-work of society and those terms which are almost as close to a man as his own name, have both been introduced from India or its neighbourhood, it requires no stretch of imagination to suppose that the boomerang came along with them. The Australian religious superstitions point rather to a con-— nection with the South Sea Islands than with India, or as much to the one as to the other. In each of the three regions there is veneration for smooth pebbles. This is evidently a very ancient religious sentiment. Isaiah charged the Jews with this form of idolatry.* ‘“ Among the smooth stones of the stream,” was their portion “even to them” had they “ poured a drink offering ” and “offered a meat-offering.” In India the worshippers of Vishnu venerate a kind of pebble called Salagrama, specimens that have been seen by Europeans are said to be from the size of a musket ball to the size of a pigeon’s egg. The particular sorts have an aperture with four spiral grooves in the perforation. The Hindoos are supposed by Coleman to be mineralized fossils of the Belemnites or Orthoceratites. The Binlang stones found in the Nerbudda River are worshipped as emblems of Siva. The veneration then of smooth stones would seem to relate the Australians equally to the Hindoos and the Kanakas. There may be another connecting link between the Dravidians and the Australians in the emblematic use of a red right hand E fe © P e ct ig 5 & as fn ny Ss 5 a a @ ee = % Ra 2 S ieee ® wm o & a o = med © 18:, Wik; S.

It is therefore possible that the red hand blazoned on Australian rocks may relate the Australian to the Dravidian, but as considerations to be brought forward later will suggest, the great probability is that this symbol was introduced not by an Indian race direct, but by a Malay people who have certainly carried hither sure tokens of Hindoo mythological influence as will be demonstrated when art and religion are dealt with.

Coming then to Australia they would be unable to enter into commercial relations with its poverty-stricken, nomadic, ople, and those who did not return to their own land would simply settle down to a life of indolence and sensuality and melt like snow-flakes in a sea of human life. But a ship-load of ‘Malays attaching itself to an Australian community would not be absorbed without leaving some traces of its presence. _Ifthe Malays arriving in Australia, even in twos and threes did not set themselves deliberately to teach and elevate the people but sank to the same savage level they could not possibly disappear with their unconscious influence absolutely obliterated.

There are throughout Australian, in the main, two types of terms for father a ‘bapa’ type and a ‘ type. loosely transposed. I once thought so, but from the localities in which a particular type of term for father occurs, and from the securrence of certain words in conjunction with the different typical ‘father’ terms I have come to regard the ‘bapa’ type of terms as evidences of Malay descent, and the ‘mama’ type as equally evidential of great predominance of Papuan blood. Thus for example, speaking generally, the dialects of Victoria and Western Australia which are the most pronouncedly Papuan are characterized by the ‘mama’ form ; along the coast of New South the concurrence of other words certainly Malay will raise a pre- sumption in favour of Malay lineage. n many Australian words used interrogatively ‘min’ isa radical syllable. Tt might indeed be said that ‘mina’ or ‘minya’ is an Interrogative stem, In the Kabi (Queensland) dialect for instance find ‘minyanggai ’ what, ‘ minyama ’ many, ‘minyanggo between the Warrego and Culgoa Rivers employed the word Minyan’ to mean what and ‘minyangor’ to mean why.

In the same locality with perhaps Halifax Bay/as focus, I find two more words of Malay derivation occurring and nearly as distinctly recognizable. The Malay for bone is ‘tulang,’ and for house ‘rumah.’ Equivalents about Halifax Bay and neighbour- hood are ‘ toola’ bone and wood (Western River), ‘toa,’ ‘ tulkill,’ ‘tolkul’ mean bone, and all over that part of the country the word for wood takes such forms as ‘ tula,’ ‘ toolani,’ ‘tular. It should be noted that the Australian dialects frequently apply one e A i and the same designation to bone and wood. ustralian words corresponding to ‘ rumah’ occur at Halifax Bay where ‘ringo’ and ‘rongo’ are used in the sense of camp. I would not adduce this as an analogy but for the preservation of the initial ‘r’ a comparatively rare initial in Australia and an anomaly in this particular spot. On the Cloncurry River-emptying into the Gulf of Carpentaria the word ‘waramboo’—spelt also ‘ooramboo’—is probably a corruption of Malay ‘rambut’ both meaning hair. At the same place, and only there, the term for sw is ‘ muntharra’ which comes very close to the Malay ‘ mata-ari’ and not very far distant at Burke Town the Malay ‘bulan’ moon has been the parent of ‘ballanichi’ the word now in use for moon. The general term in est Australia for ear is ‘twink’ or ‘dwonk’ which is most probably the Australian form of Malay ‘duwan’ also meaning ear. Besides these outstanding examples of Malay influence on the language, occurring at places so far separated, others might be instanced the origin of which is less clear but probably Malay, and no doubt future research will disentangle many more word similarly derived. Enough have been given to show how extensive and powerful the Malay influence must sometime have been. A. W. Howitt’s opinion proves to be correct that in was derived from the same people and _ place, and I am dispos to think that the Australian message-stick is a childish imitation of Malay writing upon bamboo and rattan cane as practiced in - Sumatra. These views will be stated at length and supported in 382 REV. JOHN MATHEW. the proper place, and if they be well founded the extensive pre- valence of the practices referred to attests how powerful the Malay influence has been efore proceeding to a new department of enquiry, it will be well to recapitulate the view of the origin of the Australian race taken by the writer. Australia is first “contemplated as occupied by a purely Papuan people, probably both sparsely and unevenly distribut It is not aftirmed that they were of one per of Papuans only, the Negrito and the dark Melanesian may bo have been represented and fused together, but for want of sutticient evidence this point is undetermined. Whence they set owt and the route by which they came to Australia cannot be discovered, but taking it for granted that the cradle of the human race was in Asia whence all the nations have radiated like successive swarms from a parent hive, then, the indigenes of Australia would most naturally come from the ‘north and by way of New Guinea. The lineal descendants of the original Australian natives were the now extinct Tasmanians who cr ossed from Victoria perhaps on dry land. Their migration from Victoria is held to be et established by the manifold forms of evidence already cite ustralia is next regarded as invaded by a more advanced, fairer, straieht batted race which arrived at a very early period of the world’s history, perhaps on the north-west coast and poured into Central Australia with a general south-easterly current. Partly driving before it, partly darkening itself by the tide of life upon which it presses, this stream inundates ‘the whole country but not to an equal dept Finall another invasion takes place also from the north, first with some degree of continuity and then intermittently. This straggling stream winds about here and there, touches the show at various places and is forced back inwards, Stan this last influx may have come by several little rills, entering at places widely apart and gradually losing themselves in the life-lake as Austral rivers exhausted by percolation and evaporation disappear in the central plains.

JOHN MATHEW. PuysicaAL CHARACTERS OF THE AUSTRALIANS. The physical appearance of the natives is subject to considerable variation not only in different localities but even in the same community, and this as regards stature, muscular development, cast of feature and other particulars. Some of these differences are doubtless attributable to climatic influence, some to the differ- ence of food products, while some are as certainly hereditary racial peculiarities. The wretched emaciated creature whose bones may 5 ft. 6in., and of the women 5 ft. There is however, hardly a community in which two or three six-footers will not be found. The colour of the skin is shaded from a dusky copper to @ brownish-black. The new-born babe is singularly fair but becom been particularized as more distinctly Papuan there is usually an abundance of hair on the face and breast, a characteristic which ies increased squareness of build and greater muscularity. In the central parts there is less beard and less hair on the breas . and in the north, in some parts at least, the body is smooth and a _ head with some notable exceptions is of a glossy raven black very redundant and usually wavy. Where the Papuan blood is most THE AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINES. 385 particular instance is given in the family of a man named Teacup a leading blackfellow among his countrymen about Beemery Station tween Bourke and Brewarrina in New South Wales. His children were copper-coloured and had long straw-coloured hair.* Such cases may arise from poverty in the black pigment, but seem too decided to be ascribable to such a cause. There could hardly be a more striking contrast than that between the lank, tal], smooth, small-featured Northern Territory man and such a Victorian black as Bidhanin whom I fell in with lately. The latter was short of stature not exceeding 5 ft. 4 in. in height, his hair hung in heavy wavy locks or tangles, his face was almost hidden with beard and whisker and his bosom thickly eyebrows prominent and shaggy, eyes fairly large the iris being Jewish, the nostrils wide, the mouth large, the lips thick but with- out the swollen thickness of the Negro lip, the cheek bones high, generally small and receding jaw somewhat prognathous, teeth I rge. This is the Australian Papuan face and may be met in many localities. I have a portrait of a black known as Old Peter who belonged to Milroy Station on the Culgoa River, New South Wales. This portrait might pass for a presentment of Bidhanin mentioned above. The trunk in front is completely covered with dense hair which spreads over the shoulders and down the outside of the upper arm. The beard is thick, long, and curly, with a tendency to fall in ringlets. Old Peter was evidently stout and thuscular for his height. e.

Although the eyes of the Australians are rarely if ever oblique, a face with a decided Mongolian cast about the brow, cheek bones and nose, is not uncommon. : There are certain peculiarities about the average Australian head which serve to mark it very distinctly. It is ofa pyramidal shape, the skull is abnormally thick, the cerebral capacity is about the smallest of all races. Viewed in profile, the tip of the nose is the apex of an angle the sides of which recede with about equal obliquity from a horizontal passing through that point. The head is well poised, commonly having a backward lean, and is supported on a neck short and comparatively thick. n general appearance the average Australian is symmetrically proportioned.

It may be said that the whole fabric of their moral character is in a position of unstable and for a time at least, qualifies them to excel as rough riders. But their bravery is neither steady nor deep-rooted. No doubt they are very covetous, but they are also very generous. One of the nuisances which used to vex squatters was the good-natured recklessness with which a black boy would scatter about among his friends the rations or clothes he had earned by his own labour and which he needed for himself. As a rule the blacks are sympathetic and affectionate especially the women. Sufficient evidence of this is the way In w rich white: e . cast upon their mercy. Relatives are usually fondly attached to each other. The attachment between parents and their offspring is very strong and exhibits itself in kindness to the aged who are tenderly cared for, and indulgence to little children. One case ot filial affection which came under my own notice I cannot forbear to mention. It was that of a boy who had travelled with a stock- owner to a considerable distance from his native place showing his love to his parents in a way very substantial for a black, by sending them a pound note through the post. An almost universal feature in the aboriginal character is gaiety of heart. his I believe is a Papuan inheritance.

If he does not require to rob a bee's nest to satisfy present wants, he will indicate his discovery and assert his ownership by marking the tree which the nest is on, and will take the honey at some future time. In the Bunya Mountains in Queensland it was a common practice when the nyas were in season to fill netted bags with them, and bury a store in the gravel of a creek-bed, to be exhumed when required. The blacks of Western Australia store zamia nuts by burying in the ground, but without nets.* In these and various other ways the blacks show that they do not live an out-and-out hand-to-mouth life. They are not cultivators of the soil, they neither sow nor plant, (although I have known a black to plant a ti-tree in a locality where none was growing) but they reap grain and roots and fruits, preparing them in various ways for consumption.

The cruelties perpetrated by the native police upon their own kindred in the name of law, although excessive and often unwarrantable may be passed over here, because, granted the right to colonize and dispossess, a certain degree of conflict was inevitable, and it has been alleged by humane and competent judges, that where the native police, well-ofticered, patrolled a district, not only was property secure, but the blacks were exempted from vengeful and bloody attacks by the settlers. But woe for the lustful and atrocious conduct of individual white men, who feeling secure from legal penalties and native reprisals, outraged and oppressed and hunted at their will. The small success of missionary effort with which the unsettled life of the aborigines has had much to do, has led many people to conclude that they are not amenable to spiritual influence, and some settlers have adopted the fantastic, convenient, and self- exculpatory theory that the blacks have no souls. But on the mission stations especially, there have been numerous proofs that the gospel appeals as much to an aboriginal Australian heart as to that of any other nationality, and that notwithstanding instability of character Christ is the power of God to the Aus- tralian. It used to be a common maxim among bushmen—‘ It’s no use to hit a blackfellow with your tist he won’t feel it,” and the corollary was that a heavy boot, or a stout stick, or an iron bolt, or a stockwhip, were legitimate and suitable instruments for hortatory and punitive purposes.

The wooden weapons are usually more or less carved and are often partially coloured, either red or white. e stone tools comprise hatchets, chisels, and knives. The tomahawk is shaped like a rude American axe, and is of all gradations of sizes, from what might be used by a child to a heavy stone head some twelve or fourteen inches long.

Axes made of stone so much alike that a superficial glance could detect no difference in appearance, may be found at places a thousand miles apart.* I havea broken axe- head which I found on the beach at Portarlington, no doubt the remains of an object that must have been greatly prized.

The axes were ground to a cutting edge of end to be held in the hand. It was made either of a tough vine or part of halfa sapling of suitable thickness which had been split in halves. The piece of vine or wood was doubled. In the loop thus formed the head was balanced and secured with cord and resin on the side next the haft.

In Queensland there was an ingenious and convenient way of eating honey which may possibly have been practised elsewhere as well. A sheet of the inner, tough, fibrous bark of a tree was procured. This was rubbed and softened until it became like a piece of thin matting or old bagging two or three feet square. It then formed a spongy rag and part of it would be dipped in the honey and afterwards sucked by one after another of the members of the family from the head of the house- reward the sucker for his exertions and form a treat to offer a friend.

The supply of vegetable food was much more restricted. A kind of grass-seed called ‘ Nardu’ was used by the natives in the north-west of New South Wales. This is different from the ‘Nardoo’ of Central Australia, now familiarly known as the food which Burke, Wills and King tried to support themselves upon at per’s Greek. Fern roots and the Australian yam, a species of Dioscorea* are perhaps the most common edible vegetables.

Mr. Fison in dealing with the rise of the Australian exogamous classes lays great stress upon the Murdoo legend, an aboriginal tradition, the substance of which is that the classes restricting matrimony were constituted to remedy the bad results of incestu- ous marriage. That these classes do prevent certain close marriages is true, but is it logical to conclude therefore that they were inaugurated for this purpose?

There is a stage further back than this exemplified in Australian aboriginal life, at which there is scarcely aught but territory to claim and it is tribal rather than personal property, and as for the women, with exogamy in regular operation, they possess nothing beyond a few threads, nets, baskets, or the like, about the succession to which there is likely to be no quarrel. At such a stage woman possesses practically nothing but her name and her charms, while she herself is man’s most precious property. It seems to me that the primitive idea of acquiring and holding woman as one’s own property is at the root of connubial systems, and in the majority of cases would conduce to polygyny rather than to polyandry.

There is this peculiarity to be noted about the descent which is perhaps also a proof that the the same pair of names, thus one line of descent will be Barang, Balkun and the other Bonda, Dherwen ad infinitum. Without postulating a fision of two classes into four, the exist- ence of the four may be assumed to be due to the coalition of two communities which had each already two classes. Mr. Fison suggests* this solution of the multiplication of classes from two to four, and the writer thinks that no better can be offered.

Messrs. Fison and Howitt obliterate the Australian individual in the distant past, regarding him as merged in his class. The now, on the contrary, the conclusion contains much more than there is in the premises. A good deal of weight is attached by r. Fison to the story of Mr. Bridgeman’s native servant, who boasted that in going a journey of a thousand miles he could get a wife every night all along his route. To most Australian bush- men, who are well aware that when a blackfellow crosses the boundary line of his own territory he takes his life in his hand, unless he be on special business for his tribe or under the protec- tion of a white man, the story of a thousand miles of wives W only account as a traveller’s tale. What Mr. Fison’s facts go to show is the scrupulously fenced i hich they to share in a wife’s favours by those who have helped to mre : is whic THE AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINES. 405 The classes are most commonly designated by names of animals, especially eaglehawk and crowin the south-east; and emu, kangaroo, iguana, opossum, turtle, snake, native bear, are common names elsewhere. In some parts the names of plants are applied to some of the classes. An enquiry into several peculiar usages is suggested here, viz., the mode of naming communities, the nomenclature of the classes and the occurrence of totemism. In New South Wales and Queensland especially, but not ex- clusively there, a community derives its own name and the name of its language from one of its verbal negatives. Unless a more There must have been a time when all the Australian tribal names could have been counted on the fingers of one hand. What was their significance in that primeval day? It is hardly probable that they were derived from negative adverbs. It is more likely that they were names of animals as appealing vividly to the Imagination, the echoes of which we still hear in the eaglehawk and the crow of the south-east of the continent. There ma have been cotemporaneous with the animal names, traditional racial names such as Koolin with its variants in Victoria, an Murri in New South Wales, if indeed these be not themselves animal names likewise. Tf the original tribal names were names of animals, and if the gentes are monuments of distinct ancient races the gentile names are at once accounted for. There must have been to the certain nimals, pe plai development theory, at all events the principle of nomenclature _ Snce adopted, its application could be indefinitely extended, as it evidently was. From the vestiges of this system of designation it 406 REV. JOHN MATHEW. would appear to have been in vogue in prehistoric times among the whole human race. The characterizing of gentes or clans or tribes by anima] names is manifestly related to totemism though not identical with it.* The animal the name of which is borne by the class is not usually venerated by the members of that class, in fact the significance of the class-name is sometimes lost altogether. Where totemism prevails and it is pretty general in Australia (though its existence may not be known to the whites of the locality) each individual in the tribe bears the name of an animal or plant which is his totem. His totem is revered and protected by him, and although he may eat of the totems of others he will not injure or eat of his own, unless compelled by starvation to doso. Natives of the Narrinyert and Kroki, each divided into five sub-classest+ which bear totems, and under the sub-classes all natural objects are classified. this case marriage is independent of the totem. I believe that totemism in a more or less pronounced form prevails throughout Australia, even where not recognized by Europeans. I[ remember the whites had any idea of. It seems probable that the clan-name and the totem were once identical, but that in certain places they have become differentiated and the application of the principle of naming after animals has become extended. By the Narrinyeri a man’s totem is called his ‘ngaitye.’ The Rev. G. Taplin refers{ to a statement made by Dr. G. Turner about a form of Samoan fetichism closely resembling the Australian totemism. A man’s god may appear in the form of some particular animal which thenceforth becomes his object of worship and is protected by him, and the name for such animals is ‘aitu,’ ie. gods, a word bearing a striking resemblance t0 e article on Totemism in the Encyclo ee ” pedia Britannica includes naming of tribes after animals in the system of Totemism ether t+ Curr, The Australian Race, Vol. 11., p- 461. } Native Tribes of South Australia, p. 64. - THE AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINES. 407 ‘ngaitye’ which may however be no more than coincidental.

Brothers thus betrothe their sisters in exchange for women to be their own wives. Side by side with the betrothal system is that of elopement, which now-a-days is usually more fictitious than real. {[t is in cases of elopement that the guardians of the female demand satisfaction from the man with whom she has levanted. A tremendous tempest of wrath is feigned and no doubt the combat is not unattended with risk, but after it is over the cloud of anger and ill-will is completely dissipated. There are besides, instances of real elopement after which the woman if caught will be severely handled, and the paramour will receive a sound thrashing in real earnest if the injured person be powerful enough to administer it. : Marriage by capture takes place between members of hostile communities.

It is noticed throughout the con- tinent and prevails in the South Sea Islands as well. One explan- ation which is offered for it is the abhorrence of incest, but this is not satisfactory, for if this were the reason there would be quite as strong grounds for shunning intercourse between mother and son, father and daughter, brother and sister. This last condition the separation of own brothers and sisters seems to be fulfilled in Fiji, but as it does not hold elsewhere it may be explicable on other grounds. The Rev. D. MacDonald supports with warmth the hypothesis that detestation of incest is at the root of mutnal avoidance between a man and his relatives-in-law, and he gives some interesting facts about this practice in Oceania.* For instance, a husband has to shun his father-in-law as well as his moreover here is a very pertinent question to ou to the facts surrounding this peculiar restriction, why is it that the aus in-law is not tabooed in the same way as the son-in-law ? re appears to be no danger of incest in her case.

The man-making is a universal Australian observance, and is attended with more or less ritual and severity, and sometimes cruelty, according to the tribe. The initiation to manhood was generally the occasion of immense gatherings to a particular sacred spot. There was commonly a large circle* made, with not in- within the circle, but there was besides a secret place adjoining, where the more important and solemn part of the ceremony was conducted. The natives had the greatest reluctance to admit Europeans to witness the proceedings on these occasions, and if by chance one should be present at the large circle he would usually be absolutely forbidden to approach the more secret place. Almost every tribe had details in the man-making ceremonies peculiar to itseHt. The neophyte was generally required to keep serious and still, all levity being strictly prohibited ; he was times oblig to fast, and various devices were employed to test his courage. After the ordeal had been successfully submitted to he was eligible for marriage. At the rite of initiation a chip of wood like the toy bull-roarer was called into requisition, as were also the sacred pebbles. the coast inward. The absence of it in fact is a mark of the indigenes.

Mothers will carry the dead bodies of their children on their march, even in a putrifying state. This according to Mr. Curr, is alsoa kind of penalty inflicted upon young mothers who are blamed for causing their baby’s death by carelessness. The women especially cling affectionately to parts of the body of deceased relatives, a very creditable tenderness in those whose belief practically is that death ends all. One mode of disposing of the dead is to bundle the bones into a hollow tree. I have found three or four tombs of this kind the hands are then tied by the side, and the corpse is placed in a grave, in this sitting position, head upwards. I am informed that on the Lachlan and Murrumbidgee the dead body was deposited with the head towards the south.+ In the north of Queensland cemeteries are to be seen where there are accumulations of skulls. Immediately: after a death the camp at night is resonant with hideous sounds. When first I heard the howls of despair it made my very flesh creep with horror, and to heighten the effect the mourners might be seen the greater part of the night hurrying hither and thither brandishing torches, with the object it was said, I know not how credibly, of frightening away evil spirits. As might be expected the grave is very shallow. I have seen one in the Burnett District, Queensland, with several short logs placed at the side of it on the surface, which are said by the blacks to represent the number of brothers the deceased had, and to indicate y their position relatively to the corpse the direction in which the brothers resi instance, among the Kamilroi an ancient shin-bone relic wrapped in cord and some greasy matter, is held near a fire, and when it frizzles it is believed to point in the direction of the guilty party, who is then easily identified.

The blood was allowed to dry upon the skin. The fact that this practice was forbidden to the Israelites shews its great antiquity.* relatives of the deceased wore some token of mourning upon the head, the usual practice being to attach tufts of emu’s feathers to locks of the hair, and leave them to drop off of themselves. In some parts clay was plastered over a net upon the head and allowed to harden until the whole assumed the form of a skull-cap.j After being worn for a time it was laid upon the grave.

Cave drawings and paintings have been discovered in various places, notably about the Gulf of Carpentaria, and the Glenelg iver near the north-west coast of Australia. A great mystery has surrounded the clothed figures which Capt. Grey found* painted on the walls of caves on the Glenelg River in long. 125° 9’ E., lat. 15° 573’ S. We can imagine how the gaudy-coloured, unearthly paintings would hover about the imagination of the explorer. hey were situated chiefly in two caves about ten or twelve miles apart and comprised single figures and groups. They were done in blue, red, yellow, black, and white colours. One of the a2 figures had a one of wavy rays about the head like tongues -of flame. e most important now, is that which has farhiatied the key to the ationnlity of the artist and the means of solving the enigma of authorship and significance. Various conjectures have been made regarding these paintings. So far back as 1846 Mr. Hall+ identifies the special figure referred to above as Amoun Cronus, Baal Astarte or Jupiter. He observes that a certain Hindoo on being shown a drawing of the figure called the af Kons, another Hindo called him Kooda ror Kadar, which mean God, and that a blackfellow named Yangalla alias Robert Cun ningham, said it was a representation of Pundyil, the deity of the Victorian blacks. Mr. Brough Smyth states his opinion that with one doubtful exception these paintings are “the work of natives unassisted by an sghicen gained by intercourse with jee of a different race,”t and t e doubtful exception is not the we are now oonsidering. it has also been suggested that Gees Grey, North-west and relation sas sree Vol. 1., pp. 214 and 250° Grey quotes appositely Ezek. xxiii., 14, “For when she saw men ayed u pon the wall the ‘annie of fey Chalideens eeriaai with , nthe Probable Origin and Antiquity of the Aboriginal Watives of of Wee South Wales } ree Aborigines of Victoria, Vol. 1., p. 289. one aCe.

By a careful com- parison of the letters of the painting with the various types of Sumatran writing illustrated in V. D. Tuuk’s Les Manuscrits Lampongs and other works, I made out the first four letters to spell ‘ Daibai.’ Then searching for some such word or name as current in the home of the alphabet* I found the following obser- vation in Marsden’s History of Sumatra.t ‘‘They use both in Rejang and Passumarah the word ‘dewa’ to express a superior invisible class of beings, but each country acknowledges it to be of foreign derivation. . . . . The Battas, inhabitants of the northern end of Sumatra use the word ‘daibattah’ . . . e Cingalese ‘ dewiju,’ the Telingas of India ‘ dai-wunda,’ the Biajus of Borneo ‘ dewattah’ &c., all these terms being names to express a deity or some degree of superior being.” Having therefore spelt out Daibai I was evidently on the right track, and the following is the inscription with full interpretation :— mires 7th < D AI B AITAH These characters with values assigned occur in Les Manuscrits Lampongs in the following places specially, but not exclusively by any means. The first character on pp. 64 and 101, the second, third and of course the fourth on pp. 56 and 101, in fact the third occurs all over, but with varying degrees of obliquity. The fifth character is the most doubtful of all. It might be either ‘pa’ or ‘ta,’ all that it requires to make it ‘ta’ in the regular Lampong Writing is a light top-stroke. The letter ‘ta’ is manifestly related in fo ” The identification of the final letter was difficult, but on page 3 of V. D. Tuuk’s Les Manuscrits Lampongs will be found a similar form with the value of ‘h’ the only difference being that the lines are not joined at the angle. The smaller size _ of the final letter and its resemblance to the sign for ‘h,’ which _ like the Lampong vowels generally, is smaller and more variable than the mutes, almost compel the conclusion that it represents aie these references should be consulted in conjunction with the styles of alphabets given at the end of Les Manuscrits Lampongs.

There is thus open an alternative derivation both of the figure and its name. T prefer to derive from Indian sources. It is just possible that the current etymology of the Japanese word may not be correct. Five of the other paintings which Sir George Grey saw are doubtless figures of supernatural beings also. Several of them are figure of Daibaitah are three rows of rings. Dr. Adam Clarke says that the OO among the Hindoos is a mystic symbol of the deity, signifying silence. My impression is that these works of art are comparatively modern. I am indebted to Mr. W. W. Froggatt of Sydney, for the following particulars bearing upon these cave- aintings. He was in the locality where they are found, as recently as 1887-8.

Dr. Carroll referred _ toabove, undertakes to explain these, but his interpretation is clearly mere conjecture, and has little to recommend it beyond possibility. When for instance, he distinguishes between ancient modern carvings by the fact that one set is overgrown with mosses, and the other not, he is plainly quite astray. Whether a Stone be bare or clothed with moss or lichens, after the lapse of Say, fifty years from the time of its exposure, will be determined by its grain, hardness and position. It is common enough to see on one side of a road-cutting basaltic rock overgrown with lichens, while the same rock on the opposite side may be naked. t these rock carvings were symbolical is almost beyond question, and they have parallels in workmanship, although not in subjects, M carvings that occur upon rocks in the South Sea Islands. Sir George Grey also speaks of a head carved by scooping the rock, seen by him near the caves on the Glenelg River, a unique work.

The veneration of pebbles has already been noticed. It has preferences for certain kinds of pebbles, but in general they appear to have been simply smooth rounded quartz stones The Rev. J. G. Paton secured a small piece of wood painted red at one end which he says is similar to one kind of idol worshipped by the New Hebrideans.

In the tribe with which I was best acquainted, while the blacks had a term for ghost and believed that there were departed spirits who were sometimes to be seen among the foliage, individual men would tell you upon enquiry that they believed that death was the last of them. In other words, a man’s personality died with his body and was not continued in his ghost. A ghost was called a ‘shadow’ and the conception of its existence was shadowy like itself. A general feature of Australian mythology is the peopling of deep waterholes with indescribable spirits. The Kabi tribe deified the rainbow, a superstition apparently confined to this people. He lived in unfathomable waterholes on the mountains, and when visible was in the act of passing from one haunt to another. He European fays. - He was also a great bestower of vitality which he imparted in the form of rope (what this rope was I do not know) in the manner explained above. Many tribes revered the names of ancient heroes or demigods who were credited with certain wonderful exploits, and who generally became metamorphosed into stars. The conception of a supreme being oscillated between a hero and a deity. Some tribes recognized both a supreme good spirit anday ful, dreaded, evil spirit, creation being ascribed to the former. I was once of opinion that notions about a divinity had been derived from the whites and transmitted amongst the blacks hither and thither, but Iam now convinced that this belief was here before European occupation. Although not entertained by every tribe it is never- theless held by one tribe or another in the south-east quarter of the continent from the coast almost to the centre, and we are justified in concluding that it extends beyond the area where it is positively known to exis ‘ 429 REV.

Nurandere and sometimes Martummere, and by the Diyeri he was known as Mooramoora Dr. Lang* observes, ‘There are certain traditions among the aborigines that appear to me to have somewhat of an Asiatic character and aspect. Buddai, or as it is pronounced by the aborigines towards the mountains in the Moreton Bay district udjah, (quasi Buddah) they regard as a common ancestor of their race, and describe as an old man of great stature, who has been asleep for ages.” The question may be reasonably asked is this Buddai not as likely to refer to Daibaitah of the north-west as to Budha? If Daibaitah be derived from Japan through Sumatra then both names may be echoes of Budha. In New Guinea, ac- cording to Marsden, the same deity is known as ‘ Wat,’ the first and third syllables of the name being lopped off. And further may it not be possible that Baiame of New South Wales and Pundyil of Victoria refer to the same supernatural being. Baiame may indeed be a local equivalent of Barma another Sumatran deity. The blackfellow Yangalla already mentioned recognized Daibaitah as Pundyil, the resemblance may have been due to a certain impression that both were supernatural beings, but on the other hand the names may be etymologically related, and if so a unity is given to the native belief in a divinity. The myths regarding the creation are numerous, and there are sonie which refer to a flood, but there is no common fixed account of either event and both classes of myths may be quite modern, the one being an attempt to explain the world’s origin, and so far a reflection of the workings of the native mind, the other a recol- was that he thought they had sprung up like the trees, uncommonly like Topsy’s ‘‘I spees I grow’d.” ; AUSTRALIAN LANGUAGES. » There is need for extreme caution in making sweeping general Statements regarding the languages of Australia, because they are liable to be invalidated at any time by the discovery of particular _ contradictory instances.

A large number of generalizations of this kind, the distinctions of families and types of words being kept in view would I venture to say be of very great value. : otable diversities in words and structure are due in the main to dissimilarity of original elements, while the shading of dialects into one another must be ascribed to the influence of exogamy.

The usual form of modification is by post-positions, but this mode is by no means invariable, it is supplemented in many dialects by pre- formatives and sometimes by included particles. Genuine internal vowel inflection is not observed. Certain languages lean almost as much to external inflection as to agglutination and tend to analytic structure. thers are fairly perfect specimens of agglu- tination. So far as [ know the simplest and most analytic language is that current in Western Australia, the most complex, if it have not a rival on the Daly River, is at Lake Macquarie at the other extreme of the continent, and between the east and west extremes simplicity, a dialect of New South Wales or Southern Queensland as the extreme of elaboration, while the language of the Diyeri lying about half-way between is simple in structure but richly compounding. In nouns and adjectives there is a conspicuous abundance of dissyllabic words as in the South Sea Island languages. In many cases [am convinced that these are a combination of two roots, the original sense of one syllable being lost or the sense of both transmuted. For instance take the word ‘wulwi’ smoke in the Kabi dialect, neither of the syllables separate has any meaning in abi, but in other parts ‘wolla’ is rain, and ‘wi’ is fire, so that are employed in one dialect or another. e consonants found invariably are k, t, p, ng, fi, n, m, y, w, r, 1. Owing to a common Mmperfect enunciation of the mutes, some are doubtful whether g, d, an can be credited to Australian languages. The m certain proof, to my mind, that these sonants should be included m a complete summary is a remarkable unanimity in foreign ears recognizing them in certain words, as for instance in ‘ bulla’ two, ‘barang’ aclass-name. Besides the foregoing there are the aspirates ‘dh,’ ‘th’ (as in English father) and ‘v; there is a cerebral ‘r, which I shall mark ‘rr,’ a conjunction of ‘dy’ and of ‘ty’ approach- ing so nearly to English ‘j’ and palatal ‘ch’ as to be expressed Sometimes by these. The aspirate ‘h’ occurs, but is extremely 426 REY. JOHN MATHEW. rare, and the rushing sonant ‘gh’ is written in some Victorian dialects as also in Tasmanian. Sibilants are unknown. An aversion to ‘r’ and ‘1’ as initial letters is very common. In several New South Wales and Queensland dialects these letters never begin a word.

The same type of dialect is spoken on the Norman River. Number is rarely marked save by distinct words. There are however exceptions. In the speech of the Narrinyeri (South Australia) the plural is indicated by a special terminal inflection, e.g., ‘korni’ aman, dual ‘kornengk’ two men, plural ‘kornar’ men. In the verb, number receives no sound mark. A fallacious notion which has been widely circulated may here be referred to with the view of exposing it. The Australians it is said have no general names but only special terms. There are scores of words in every dialect testifying to the contrary. Take the Kabi dialect as an example it has a general name for animal, man, tree, stone, creek, mountain, and so forth. The only grounds for the delusion referred 1 to are the facts that som f objects have not been generalized and that there is a preference for the special distinctive name, even where a general one exists. us instead of speaking of a tree, the native prefers to specialize the particular kind of tree. indication of gender comes from the Daly River.

These marks are probably the com sonantal radical of the third personal pronouns. In all the languages of more elaborate structure the noun is exceedingly rich in cases, and as a rule where these are said not to exist, the fact is that they have not been recognized.

There is usually no phonic connection between the third persons singular and plural, a common form of the third plural has the etymon ‘than’ or ‘tin’; the distinction of sex is not usually marked in the pronoun though there are exceptions. Decayed pronouns are frequently incorporated with nouns to indicate possession in such forms as father-my, father-your, and also with verbs as the personal index not yet assimilated so as to obliterate the origin, and in such cases the position is usually terminal, The pronoun is also well supplied with cases, and possessive forms are in some dialects capable of declension like nouns. mon- strative pronouns are also declinable like the personal in certain dialects, as for example that of Lake Macquarie in New South Wales.

And it is just possible that some writers have needlessly multiplied forms by incorporating with the verb, adverbs which should have been regarded as separate words. A caution must be given against supposing that the verbs are generally regular, so far as my personal experience goes, which is confined to the knowledge of one dialect acquired directly from the blacks, there is great irregularity and many verbs are defective. The position of words in the sentence is subject to considerable variation according to dialect. Commonly in categorical sentences the nominative comes first and is immedi- ately followed by the object; qualifying words if present, succeeding their os Segoe subjects ; after the object comes the adverb and finally the v OUTLINES OF GRAMMAR. now submit a brief outline of the grammatical forms of four different languages, the first representing the Western Division, Names must not be maected I.—Tue Lan@uaGe or WESTERN AUSTRALIA.

The Diyeri language is spoken between Cooper’s Creek and the north-east shore of Lake Torrens, in South Australia, but not far from the Queensland and New South Wales boundaries. Mr. Gason’s vocabulary does not supply much data for arriving at the structure of sentences, the examples of syntax being unfortunately too meagre to admit of our deducing noun declension from them. The verb seems to be conjugated very simply and with a suspicious regularity. The language is of a very elementary, compounding nouns ‘ngali-ngin’ we-thee, or the like.

The structure of the verb so far as we can judge is exceedingly ‘simple. To indicate the person the pronoun is prefixed unabridged. There are simple and reciprocal forms, the latter having the ter- mination ‘mullana.’ The simple form has infinitive, indicative, and imperative moods, and participles perfect and imperfect. The following is the conjugation of the verb ‘yathami’ to speak, parallel with which I place the Kabi verb ‘yamathi’ also meaning tos in order toshow the singular likeness and close relationship of the word and its modifications :— Diveri yer.

This leads to the conclusion that “™m! a ‘“mathi’ is a verbal definitive which was probably once 4 ae meaning fo do or make, like the ‘-ed’ of the past tense 10 Englis regular verbs which is did phonetically decayed.

Initial vowels sometimes occur but very rarely. There are occasionally as initial letters of a syllable such combinations as ‘pr,’ ‘br,’ ‘kr,’ but even between these a semivowel generally steals in. ‘8’ occurs only in the dog-call ‘ isé,’ ‘h’ only in one or two foreign words. Writing about Dippil, Dr. F. Miiller says, “In the vocabulary of Rev. W. Ridley there are indeed words in which ‘th’ and ‘dh’ appear, but we believe the existence of these sounds in an Australian tongue doubtful and due to imperfect apprehension.”* Dr. Mii er’s dis- trust is perfectly groundless. An English ear cannot be deceived in the sound of ‘th,’ it is a characteristic Australian sound, and in Kabi of which Dippil is the nearest neighbour and almost the paral- lel, ‘th’ is pronounced exactly as in English father. The sound of ‘dh’ would be best illustrated by the value which would result from the ‘th’ in English chat being preceded by a distinct ‘d.’_ The Kabi ‘v’ is the equivalent of ‘b’ in some other dialects.

Precisely the same thing occurs near to Camden, where there is a nursery, and as the season gets dry the water in the creek gets so salt it cannot be used for plants, but when there is abundance of pasture the salt is not perceptible. So it dependsa very great deal upon the season. I recollect many years ago passing over the Liverpool Plains, and the water was so salt they could not use it for sheep. This was a very dry season—1858. Mr. F. B. Kynapoy—lI rise to thank Mr. Dixon for his paper. It would certainly be a pity if the data he has been accumulating . should be hidden away. It is more fitting that such valuable they went the more salt it became. With regard to the purity of the nitrogenous matter. r. H. GC. Russett—lI should like to ask Mr. Dixon if he has any analysis of the deep well-waters of the interior ? Mr. Dixon—With regard to Mr. Moore’s observations, IT point out in the paper two or three cases in which alterations have taken place in the various waters in consequence of the changes in the seasons. o doubt too, a large quantity of water falling on the surface of the soil must dilute the water so much that the impuri- ties become very much less. And the same remark would apply the case referred to by Mr. Kyngdon in regard to the dilution of the nitrogenous matter in the supply from Prospect. With I got some salts from some of the salt-water—it was practically of similar composition to sea salt ; and this is the case also wit deep wells in Sydney. This water probably flows from the moun- tains towards the sea. When you sink down you draw off the deep well-waters in the interior. Many people in speaking of salt 474 W. A. DIXON. account in any irrigation scheme brought forward in a country so dry as a good deal of ours is, and where there is a good deal of soil without drainage. Nothing at all will grow on the surface of these soils, and therefore I think a chemical examination of the deep waters should be obtained, even of the river waters used for these purposes, so that we might be able to judge with some degree of certainty of their effect for purposes of irrigation and cultivation. Mr. C. Moore—Would it not be well to ask the Government to supply samples for analysis? I believe it would be done with- out the slightest hesitation. Mr. Dixon—I am quite sure the matter is of great importance, Mr. C. Moorr—lIf this were done I feel convinced it would be acted on at once. There would be no impropriety in making the request, and I think we should have more influence than any other y. of persons, Mr. J. B. Henson—I should like to make one remark about the saltness of the soil, and that is the shales extending inland are charged freely with salt. I know in the western suburbs you sink a well in the shale twelve feet deep. That isthe limit. After you go below that the water is sure to be salted. I have seen fresh excavations in the shale, and have scraped crystals of salt off the shale. It has been white with crystals of salt, and that at a considerable elevation above sea level. Mr. P. R. Peptey—In the matter of the salt water wells in the interior, as far as my experience goes in the Cobar district there the wells are remarkably salt. Of course they are very vague terms to use—salt and fresh water; but from my own practical experience I can certify to the fact that the so-called salt water from wells from Hillstone and Cobar contains a large proportion of sulphate of magnesium. The theory I believe is that the soil is impregnated with these salts and that the rain has to a certain extent washed the salt out of the surface of the soil. If you are going to start a garden there you will find that plants will grow, _ but trees will not. If you put in fruit trees you find that as soon as the roots go down beyond a certain depth the trees fail entirely. The idea is I believe that the larger roots get down into the salt and the vegetation suffers. It strikes me that if they are going to use for irrigation waters the so-called salt water wells the result » the impregnation of the surface soil and prejudice to the vegetation. Rev. 8S.

The Prestpent—I should like to ask Mr. Dixon upon one matter in connection with the changes which he has found in the the composition of the Nepean water, and to know whether he noted the period of the year in which the changes were made, is not so marked here as at home, so that there would be corres- pondingly less change in the waters. Although the gum trees are not regarded as deciduous trees, still they do shed their bark and that must have an effect somewhat similar to the fall of the leaves in other countries. An analysis of the waters in autumn shows a considerable difference from an analysis made in any other part of the year. Perhaps Mr. Dixon can tell us whether these as the result of that discussion. Then the well waters about portion of salts would vary in the course of years. Then with regard to the application to the Government for a systematic col- lection of samples of water and analysis of the same, I think that perhaps an application might be made to the Under Secretary for Mines for assistance in the matter. In conclusion I have much pleasure in offering the thanks of the Society to Mr. Dixon for his valuable contribution to the chemistry of the waters of New South Wales. Mr. Drxon said in reply:—I thank you for your vote of thanks. T cannot bear in my memory exactly the particular seasons at which I made the analyses of the Nepean water supply of Sydney.

Being Personal Recollections of those Tribes which once inhabited the Adelaide Plains of South Australia. By Epwarp Srepuens, Esq., Bangor, Tasmania. [ Read before we Royal Society of N.S.W., October 2, 1889. ] I can hardly believe it, and yet it is true, that it will soon be entury since I, a lad with my parents, landed in the infant colony of South ene The rains had been unusually heavy, and the country was so flooded, that it was with great _ difficulty we reached Adelaide, sis capital of the young settlement. As is usual with new arrivals in any part of vg world, we were out and about very early next morning. Our great wish was to see a native—a real Australian black-fellow. Tt was not long before our curiosity was gratified. A dog having been killed—per- haps d rowned in the back yard—two or three of the genuine aborigin nes saw, and begged t she body of the poor dead dog, an Soon were squatting on their haunches around the carcass. THE ABORIGINES OF AUSTRALIA. 477 being asked what they intended doing with it, they replied— ** Plenty bery good dog butter.” So, with a piece of glass bottle they performed a post mortem, cleverly extracting the internal fat and deiiberately smeared their heads, faces, and necks with the offensively pungent mess. So strong was the disgusting scent that we rushed from their presence into the house, closing windows and doors. I do not relate the foregoing as something new, for hundreds of persons have seen the like. I only mention it here to show how I was first introduced to the noble Australian savage. This practice of covering the body with fatty substances is com- mon to all savage races, and is intended as a protection against the bad effects of extreme heat and of extreme cold, as well as furnishing a covering through which the troublesome insect finds it difficult to reach with its proboscis, the rich juices which lie under the skin of—well, even an Australian native. I have lived to see an aborigine greedily devour a crust of wheaten bread ; but, I can assure the reader that, at the time of which I now write, if some bread and meat were given to them they would consume the meat, but on getting a little distance from the house, after smelling the bread they would deliberately throw it away. At that time also they would not eat bacon nor besmear themselves with its fat; and pork was their peculiar aversion. I can say with confidence that, up to my latest acquaint- ance with them, never once did I see them eat, in any form, the flesh of a pig. It was evidently naturally offensive to them. We soon left the little city of Adelaide, for it was really little then, and not many thousand people in the whole colony. here was no bishop; Sir Henry Young was Governor. Our temporary abode was to the east of Kensington, and not much more than a mile to the north of Green Hill. Kensington could and, I regret to say, that on one Sabbath morning the curiosity of some natives prompted them to look in at the door, the said super- Murray River. As population increased and the Adelaide natives abandoned hunting for a vagrant begging life, they but seldom passed over the eastern ranges ; but the Murray blacks would still come do rhaps twice a year. These blacks, even in the earliest days of the white settlement, were a race far superior in ol 478 EDWARD STEPHENS. stature and general physique to those of the plains; caused no doubt, by the abundance of fish which were easily caught, and by their indolent peaceful life. But few of the men were under five feet nine or ten inches, and many of them were more than six feet high. Their only defect, in physical stature, was the ex- treme leanness of their legs compared with an otherwise wellbuilt and massive bodily organization. In fact their legs, in more ways than one, were their weak points; for a blow on the head that would almost fell an ox, would hardly stagger them or make them blink their eyes; whereas a light tap on the legs would vanquish hem at once. none occasion, a huge black-fellow, for some reason known perhaps only to himself, was in the act of launching his waddie at the head of a bullock-driver, but the latter brought his whip with one smack against the legs of the black, and he seemed as incapable of offensive exertion as if he had been instantly paralysed by a shock from an electic eel. What, however, the blacks of the plains lacked in physical robustness was more than compensated for by their lithe and wiry agility. They were bold and persistent in hunting, and courageous in war. Yet, as a rule, when the hill tribes descended to the plains, those of the plains would retire as if by a mutua] compact. Of their conduct in an actual tribal fight I shall, as an eye-witness, have something to say further on. As a lad, I was rather partial to the native children, and they in return became rather fond of me to see that the vermin. The mothers ! judging of the type of a class of people ss hould not lose sight of the nature of the environment in W ich THE ABORIGINES OF AUSTRALIA. 479 they are born and compelled to exist all their days. And viewed from a moral or domestic platform, the advent of the white race was to the native race anything but an unmixed blessing. How- ever, with this [ have little or nothing to do, although knowing as I do the many evils that the white race has inflicted upon the black race, I can hardly resist the temptation to state what [ know. I have, more than once, been highly amused when a lubra (this was the common name applied to both fathers and mothers) was engaged in earnest conversation with my mother, while the large dark eyes of a little bit of blue or slate coloured humanity would peer over its mother’s shoulder, and fumble about its mother’s neck, very plainly indicating its want of nourishment ; the mother (still continuing her conversation) would quietly push her breast up tothe child. The little hands would grasp it eagerly ; and, applying its mouth to the proper place, would most energetically drink in the coveted fluid, until exhausted with its agreeable Occupation it would speedily fall asleep. If it were the mother’s first child, and it very young, the operation had to be performed inanother way. The mother would slip the child round under insured undeservedly, the charge of dirtiness. As an instance of their innate modesty I will mention one case :—About twenty years later, away in the north-western part of the colony, I was asked to visit a poor old black woman who was said to be dying. On reaching her wurley, or little hut of bark and boughs of trees, I found her to be in the last stage of the aborigines great enemy 480 EDWARD STEPHENS. dying exterior there was a soul which in a few hours angels would delight to honour. The following will furnish another illustration, and will afford a little amusement on account of its comic element, and its argu- mentum ad verecundiam by ablack lubra.

I saw the natives and was much with them before those dreadful immoralities, were well known. I saw them and was often with them, when the old died off and the race no longer propagated itself, and I say it fearlessly, that nearly all their evils they owed to the white man’s immorality and to the white man’s drink. As late as 1879, I knew one brave old chief or king, who when he could no longer restrain his tribe from yielding to the d r ing customs of a degenerate white race, retired with his only som to spend his remaining years in the seclusion of the Wirrabara forests and mountain ranges north of Beetaloo.

That is an instance which goes far to show that the race was not so degraded as some writers and explorers would have us to believe. If the lips of our medical men were not professionally sealed they could make the cheeks of Christendom blush with Shame at what their patients have done and suffered in the back settlements of Australia. The contagious diseases of large cities were unknown to the aborigines of Australia before the advent of the white man. I have seen the white man and the white woman more degraded than the worst aboriginal of South Australia. Many years ago, I should think nearly thirty years, a few men of anorthern tribe returning under the influence of drink from a western township, committed an atrocious crime, which filled with horror the whole of the white population. After violating a shepherd’s wife, they murdered her and her children, and concealed the remains of their victims in wombat holes. One man turned Queen’s evidence, and the other murderers were hung. Now this point I wish particularly noticed, that he who turned Queen’s evidence was banished from his tribe. What became of the shepherd? Well the last I heard of him was that in return for the kindness of a neighbour in taking him into his house and Ssympathising with him in his terrible trouble, he ran away with his neighbour’s wife and the two lived in adultery. too late for preservation, the mere fragments of a once numer- casualty hospital or the inmates of a lazar-house.

To see him 482 EDWARD STEPHENS. with a number of others, was a sight long to be remembered ; and in the success of finding them he never failed. Many persons have given expression to the opinion that their religious beliefs were very superstitious and low—in fact they had but little or no ideas respecting a future state. Here, I ask, would it be just to the whole of Christian England, to estimate the nature and value of its theology from an attempted exposition of the thirty-nine articles, or Athanasian Creed of the Church of England by an ignorant, drunken, and degraded denizen of the purlieus of Whitechapel? Yet this is precisely what has been attempted with regard to the religious beliefs of the aboriginal Australian. That their religion was far below Christianity goes without saying. Butit was far and away more simple and sublime than many of earth’s religions which possess a refined literature and are held in respect for their venerable antiquity. The fact is the adult aborigine would not converse with the adult European about his religious beliefs. Upon this they were specially silent and profoundly reticent. What he would often glibly discuss and what white men have understood to be a part of his religious beliefs was no more that than the fairy tales of Scandinavia area part of the theology of Sweden. An adult native would sometimes talk to an attentive child who was his son’s playmate ; and from the children I have gathered a little knowledge upon this question which briefly stated, amounts to this :—They believed in a go being who sent them good things, and that he specially ruled the day. Also ina bad being who brought them evil things, and who ruled in darkness or the night. That the moon and stars were messengers of the good one to see that the bad one did no great injury tothem. At death they believed that the thinking and talking principle passed away to the east, whence came the sun and moon ; that there they would all meet at last. And whilst possessing great confidence in the good being, that all would turn out well in the end, and were anxious not to do wrong by com- mitting murder, theft, and avoiding Coonyownda, that is the eat- ing of tabooed female animals ; they had no idea whatever of vicarious sacrifice, and the utility of prayer. This was the sub- stance of all I could learn, and I believe it was all that they were able to impart, When the white man came, additions were made to their limited theology ; and some thought the white man was only an aboriginal changed in colour on being raised from the dead. There were audacious Europeans who had the temerity to tell them that they, the white men, had once been black ; had hun ae on the plains ; had actually died and returned from the spirit land. — _ Such statements as these, backed by drink, gifts of tobacco and im ul actions, so confused the minds of the natives and so ra __ turbed their ancient beliefs, that when in after years missionarios THE ABORIGINES OF AUSTRALIA. 483 began the attempt to restore this lost Eden, they found the native doctors demoralised or dead, the oitice gone, and no one left able, even it he were willing, to give any clear idea of the religious beliefs of his own father, and as for himself he had none to give. Drunkenness and debauchery spread like their own bush fires, and it was not until tribe after tribe became extinct, that intelligent men awoke to the fact that an interesting people had perished, and that most of their traditions had perished with them. The traditions of the advent of the first blacks were extremely vague. They seem to believe that they came from the north-east, soon after there had been a tremendous ‘flood, when rocks rolled down from the eastern ranges and floated like wood across the plains. Whether this was or was not, a flickering glimmer of the idea ofa general deluge which is so common a belief throughout the world, I am unable to say. I was too young to theorise, I was only able to remember statements and actual facts. Before I was twenty years of age all the aborigines from Rapid Bay on the south to Gawler on the north were nominally, if not absolutely extinct. My old playmates had prematurely aged and had died off one by one, ander the imported vices and diseases of the white men. In the early days referred to at the beginning of this paper, some of the men of the eastern tribes called at our place on their return inland, and possibly suffering from ‘hot coppers,” from the effects of a debauch with the whites on the Adelaide race course, were very demonstrative in their deinands for drink and “tucker.” The first was given in abundance, but as the latter article was very scarce in the house, it could not be supplied. These men, I “there is na luck, &c.” The natives were strangely silent in a In less time than it takes to pen the words, little mag was out from her hiding place, biting the naked toes of the savages -Aére, there, and everywhere, and talking at a tremendous rate.

As all the sports and pastimes of young and old had reference to hunting and fighting, in which spear and waddie throwing formed a prominent feature, it is no wonder that their accuracy of aim became so perfect as it did. To those unacquainted with their the end of which was inserted a piece of flint or a nail; or a sp made partly of reed and partly of a piece of wood, one end of which was brought to a fine point and hardened in hot ashes. These were used for wild fowl; and, to see with what ease they could creep up to and spear a wild duck or bronze wing pigeon, was truly surprising. To the south of the grog shanty in Kensington, of which I have written, there was a nice piece of cleared land—in fact this was about the only well cleared piece in the village. Norwood and number of settlers had met to spend a merry hour or two. mall loaves of bread or damper were obtained—Johnny Cake the latter was called. These were baked not in the ashes as the damper proper was. They were about half an inch thick and six or eight inches in diameter, and were baked by being stood upright before the fire, supported by little sticks. ‘These were the-targets that men had collected at which the blackfellows were to throw their spears. The distance began at about twenty-five yards and was gradually increased to perhaps seventy or even one hundred yards. it was remarkable with what accuracy and certainty the natives would, in nearly every case, send the spear into these objects. this time much of the prejudice against bread had passed away, and these Johnny Cakes, well smeared with treacle, were recely asa great luxury. The spears were thrown by means of the wommera or meédla, as most natives called it. This was 4 flat piece of wood about two inches broad at the middle, tapering of oe ; Pie - THE ABORIGINES OF AUSTRALIA. . 485 thumb. The first and second finger and thumb grasped the spear. The hand, with the spear, being raised and drawn back—-the dis- tance almost instinctively judged—then the spear was thrown with all the force necessary, and being propelled by the wommera, which acted with the leverage of an additional and very long arm, the distance that could be covered. was something enormous. These spears were but seldom, if ever, used in battle. The waddie was simply a small club, and was a general utility instrument in the hand of a native. Its head or knob was rounded off in such a way that it would slip through the boughs of a tree like a thing of life, and fall to the ground ; whereas the white- man’s poor imitations would in nine cases out of ten, remain lodged in the boughs of the trees into which it might be unfortunately thrown, and, in the case of us boys, involving hours of stone and stick pelting to get it down again. There was also a short double ended sharp pointed’ spear for kangaroo and emu, and the large fighting spear, perhaps twelve feet long with ugly barbs at the end, often at each end. It was not unusual to hear an aborigine speak of the good qualities of his spear much after the manner in which sportsmen boast of their guns. Here is a specimen of the black- man’s eulogy :—“ Berry good spear that one. Him die plenty blackfellow.” Grim enough in all conscience, but the number of blackfellows killed really indicated the number of battles in which he had distinguished himself; thus the spear unconsciously reflected the honour of its owner. It certainly had the merit of being a ~ difficulty or danger. _ They had also the boomerang, about which much has been said. Tts shape was so peculiar that when thrown as a blackfellow only could throw it, and should it fail to hit the object aimed at, it would pursue a singularly erratic career and return with great force to 486 . EDWARD STEPHENS. the one who threw it. It was a dangerous instrument in the hands of inexperience ; for although thrown with vigour at a foe, it might in its peregrinations, attack your dearest friend. It was not long before the climbing-stick gave place to an iron bar, similarly shaped, and the hatchet, nail, and hoop iron have taken the place of flint and the kangaroo’s tooth. I have lived also to see the sinews and tooth, which from time immemorial, were used in the manufacture of opossum rugs, discarded by the noble savage for needle and whity-brown thread ; but the rugs were not improved. Unlike the tribes inhabiting Queensland and the Northern Terri- tory, these had no permanent shields. They only fought in the spring of the year when the sap was flowing freely in the trees, and the bark could be readily taken off. Out of this bark they rivers. Hence, to these tribes of the plain, fighting was no prominent and necessary art. But they could fight, and most effec- tively too, when necessity called them to defend their wives an children, and their ancient hunting grounds, from an invading force. On one occasion by some means, either with or without her con- sent (I think it was the former) a gay young spark “ rine yah me teen ter can nay moon cara ”—in other words, a marriageable young man of the plains, stole a nice young woman of the hill tribes and the result was a declaration of war. For days, hooting and yelling messengers passed from camp to camp. This sort of aboriginal ambassadorial, and yelling diplomacy continued for nearly a week without any satisfactory results I suppose the blacks of the plain were thought to have had the best of the bargain, because neither king, priest, father, mother, brothers nor sisters, nor the whole fraternity of relations, could induce the capt maiden to renounce her gallant Leander. So the Murray blacks resolved to take her, or at least “to know the reason why.” Mean- ____while as the sap was up in the trees as high as the blood in their oe bodies, they prepared for the contest by stripping the bark from the : THE ABORIGINES OF AUSTRALIA. 487 white and blue gums, in pieces of about three feet by two feet six inches, out of which they made their shields. When finished each shield was about two feet six inches long by two feet wide. The handle was fixed in the centre from the back, and consisted of strong tough pieces of green wood twisted like a rope, with each end thrust through holes in the shield and firmly wedged. The face of the shield was rubbed smooth with stones and hardened by When properly “done,” it was allowed to cool, after which it received a coating of pipeclay or lime, and then was ornamented with red bands made of the juice of a small tuber which grew in abundance on the virgin soil.

For weeks after, the usual boys’ games were Suspended for mimic war on native lines, in which ‘shields and Spears, and at last stones began to play a dangerous part. The morning: of the day of bat tle dawned, and by ten o'clock both 488 EDWARD STEPHENS. forces were in motion, Scouts were thrown out. The battle-field selected was a clear space of a few acres a few hundred yards to the east of Mr. Gwynn’s residence (he was a lawyer then, in after years he became one of the Judges of the Supreme Court). On reaching the ground, each side formed itself in single line, facing each other, separated only by a space of not 100 yards; the women and children of each tribe occupying the rear of each side respectively. Then followed more palaver, or yabber yabber, degenerating at last into language more expressive than polite, and of an extremely personal character ; in fact each side did its best to “rile” the other. The “riling” was as mutual as the abuse was reciprocal. Where was I all this time? Well, I followed the Murray tribe for some time, at a very respectful distance, and at last perched myself where I was out of danger t Europeans there was no danger of a stray shot. I was safe. Their fundamental law of battle was a most humane one, and that was, the side which had the first one, or at most two, killed, must accept defeat ; then each party would retire to its respective camps. There was no such thing as a war of extermination with these tribes. If my memory does not deceive me, I do not think the same inter-tribal law held good on the immense Peninsula of Port Lincoln, on the western side of Spencer’s Gulf. The signal for battle was given, and out shot from both sides a volley of spears—the sharp-pointed ones used in hunting large game. Thes were neatly caught on the shields. The descent of the spears, as they reflected the light of a brilliant sun,—both sides being moved this moment began to look critical, when a posse of mounte? Police, which had been sent for and hurriedly dispatched from THE ABORIGINES OF AUSTRALIA. 489 Adelaide, galloped forward and stopped further bloodshed. - I am not writing a romance, but am recording what actually took place, and what I saw myself. No doubt the old police journals of the forties or very early fifties have preserved the record of this event. Under a threat of being shot at, proceedings between the contestants were stayed for a time. The women and children taking care of the spears, the men were allowed to fight out their grievance and vindicate their soiled honour with waddies! Shades of Homeric heroes, what a sight! and oh! for a second Homer to picture this shock of arms! The scenes which followed were the most weirdly grotesque that human brain could conceive, or human eye gaze upon. Imagine 700 or 800 painted savages with painted shields, yelling like demons and hurling at each other 0 waddies, all on an area of less than an acre. The waddies came home to the object aimed at, were parried by the shields, and, going over the contestants’ heads, they glittered in the sun like a shower of twenty-inch icicles ; falling in the rear they were secured by the lubras and children, and handed to their fighting husbands, or fathers, as the case might be. Sometimes a waddy would be received obliquely on a shield, which was otherwise held upright, the result was it would glance against the head or face of the right or left hand man; should it hit the head no evil would find its way to the region of the stomach, then followed a fearfully explosive grunt, a sudden collapse of all martial ardour, and a speedy retirement to the rear. These events tended to break the order and discipline which, up to this point, had been Well sustained. Then followed a fortuitous and promiscuous On returning they saw about a quarter of an acre of luxuriant _ Sow thistles on our land. Some of them asked if they might have them. I obtained the requisite permission, and told them that they could take the lot. In a moment they had climbed the _ fence, and this little plot was one seething mass of men, women and children. Ten minutes later the ground was bare of thistles, _ nd the tribe passed on gratefully devouring the juicy weed. As the fight was about a young woman who appeared to prefer _ @marriage into the Adelaide tribe to a return to her own, I may 490 EDWARD STEPHENS. remark that the marriage ceremony was a very simple affair ; it consisted in the bridegroom giving a slight tap with a waddy to the bowed head of the bride—not that skull-cracking blow which fiction writers have described. The ceremony was symbolical of authority of th In the early days the people were chaste in their lives, and conjugal infidelity was almost if not altogether unknown ; with the advance of civilization, I saw enough to convince me that, in addition to the imposition of heavier burdens, the women were treated with inereasing neglect. As an instance of the degeneracy of the times I will mention one case. One I saw a native, who had passed the middle age of life, climb a tree in search of an opossum. After tapping a hollow limb he ascertained the locality of the animal’s nest. Then, with his hatchet, he made a hole some two feet from that spot and nearer to the entrance of the hollow limb. Taking a green stick about an inch in diameter and two feet long, after splitting the end into several divisions he inserted it into the newly-made opening, pressed it tightly against the animal, at the same time twisting the stick, which thus caught hold of the animal’s fur and skin so that it was helplessly drawn from its resting-place. Catching hold of its tail he swung the opossum against the tree, putting an end to its life with one blow. Dropping it to the ground he to his son, the sides and legs he reserved for himself, and, incredible as it may read, he threw the intestines over his shoulder as the portion for his dear wife. She picked them up with a loo. of gratitude! the way in which they disappeared down her throat would have alarmed a professional macaroni gourmand of sunny Italy ; the entrails passed out of sight, and her sweet pouting lips looked like . . .

But as their civilized degredation increased they seemed to neglect these remedies and often appeared with eyes horribly inflamed and disgustingly dirty. As however their diseases were but simple and few, they were inclined to indulge in the use of charms, which of course gave nature a chance of curing herself. But for common wounds and bruises, chewed gum-leaves or the application of dry earth were their chief remedies. With regard to snake bites, I do not know if they used gum-leaves in their heard of a blackfellow being bitten by one. This always appeared to me to be a most singular fact. Again, snakes killed and cooked by themselves, nothing would induce them to eat a snake that a whiteman had killed. They always remarked—‘ No good that fellow.” A friend of mine suffering from a severe catarrh and violent pains in the head, was cured by a native in less than half an hour. The blackfellow placed his patient near the fire. Warming his hands at the fire he would instantly clap them to his patient’s ears, rubbing vigourously but not roughly. This he repeated without intermission. Presently patient, still heating the palms of his hands and applying them to the ears ; then he commenced to hum a sort of song or charm; 4 peculiar sensation came over my friend, he seemed to hear some- hing “give way,” or burst in his head. The cure was complete and no ill effects were felt afterwards. [ To obtain fire they always carried two pieces of the dried stems of the grass-tree. Sitting on their haunches they placed one piece horizontally on the ground, holding each end with their feet. In the centre of this piece was made a little indentation, into which they inserted the end of the other piece of grass-tree. Then by twirling it backwards and forwards with great rapidity, caused by rubbing their hands together whilst holding this piece of stick perpendicularly, with its lower end pressed firmly into the aperture already named, the friction was sufficient to produce fire. But to produce fire in the shortest possibile time, two persons were neces sary. Thus, while one was twirling the stick the other would be busy applying small bits of dry grass or powdered leaves, and ready at the first sign of a spark to blow it into a flame. These two — _ sticks used in the way described, formed their only plan of pro- ducing fire. This method was so simple, and in their hands so effectual that they needed noother. I have known them to carry fire sticks in going short distances, but this was very rarely done _ At their camps, as a general rule, each family had its own fire whic) was immediately in front of the wurley. These wurley’s were — ; THE ABORIGINES OF AUSTRALIA. 493 usually made of four or five stakes about seven feet long, some of them forked where they met in the centre, the other ends being driven into the ground, at distances sufficient to give a central elevation of four or five feet. These were covered with boughs and bark, and, in some cases, with grass or reeds and rushes, and were wonderfully wind and rain proof. Their form was that of a divided hollow cone with the open side away from the wind, and fronting the fire. The natives slept with their feet towards the fire, their backs close to the wurley where it touched the ground, and their heads nearly at the centre of the half circle ; so that if ‘awake they had a clear view of the fire and of the approach of any visible danger. These places were built ina row, and should the wind change, they had only to make a hole in the back of the wurley and use the material from it to fill up the original doorway. I do not think that either wind or rain would induce them to make that alteration at night. They were very timid in the dark, and particularly so, if rain put out their fires, which was often the case as their fires were only made of small sticks. Their powers of vision at night did not seem to be nearly so great as those of the white man; but in daylight, their range of ‘sight far surpassed that of the European. This was observe in their simple and fair imitation of the aboriginal wurley, and do many other bith pretty well equal with themselves, yet I was never able to p duce fire in their way. I have tried it repeatedly but cons never get beyond the production of smoke. In the ese of their corroborees, more than the usual quantity of fuel would be supplied to their ordinary fires ; and while the old -. women, and children supplied the vocal parts, and beat time by striking their waddies on little mounds of earth mingled with grass, the m iddle-aged and young men perform their portion on the other side of the fire—retiring into the dark- ness or advancing to the light, as the sentiment re equired. The whole affair would conclude “with a brilliant tableau in which the en The children Bags sing it first, then the women, after that the men, and lastly all together, concluding with tremendous es — or grunts.

Of course the words had no more meaning than “ Ri fol didder rol” of the old English songs, or the “ fal lal” of one who knows the music but not the words of a song. I hope that none of those who read this brief record of my own observations, will think that I desire to set myself up as an authority above all others. From my earliest days nature favoured me with great powers of observation, and a keen sight, which when put to the test has afforded astonishment to my friends. Even now my powers of vision, in reading the smallest dry, and scholastic form, I have, in consideration of the interest of the general reader, and to make the matter more attractive, used a style a little more racy than the dignity of the subject might otherwise allow, and I have introduced matter not exactly pertinent at all times to the subject discussed.

It was an entertainment in honour of the new moon, and was both comprehensive and imposing ; it was a serio-com nico adeno play in four acts, intended to si diiene the leading ev life. It embraced a representation of the nue priaee of childhood, the seriousness and absurdities often seen in courtship, the excitements of hunting, and the fiery passions of a fierce tribal conflict. Unlike the plays of civilization death was not mournful silence. The whole affair was highly rostapatn and was kept up with interest from shortly after dark until near midnight. Thirty years after I saw another away ay north - Adelaide. It was specially got up at Christmas time, but o what a contrast, ‘‘ what a falling-off was here.” The cai scourge of both white man and black, drink, had done its deadly work, and the drunken remnants of a broken and non-propagating tribe, vainly attempted to perform, with European adornments and European tinware, a villainous compound of savage and civilized rant and drivel—a hideous insult to their brave old forefathers’ names and memories ; and all for what /—the hat was passed round for cash to purchase more drink, and they got it. Continuing our course still eastward from where we saw the first grand corroboree, we pass on our left the house then occupied by an old and respected identity, Mr. Nathaniel Hates, and on our right land held by another identity equally well known and loved for his large-hearted benevolence, Mr. Dean, a London brewer. Still continuing the same course we reach a small creek just before the road turns off to the right. This portion of r. Dean’s land was unfenced and covered abs magnificent wattle trees. Mr. Hales’ land was also open here, bu t almost bare of undergrowth.

When the grave was ready we saw the ty coming by wa in the direction of Magill, crossed the little creek, skirted the eastern end of the burying-ground, suddenly retracing their steps, then turning right-about and walking for a short distance, wheeling a little to the right they marched straight to the open a few pieces of bark and some leaves were placed on the bottom of the grave; the body was then gently lowered, leaves and bark were placed gently on it, and then the grave was filled with earth. With bark and boughs they built a little wurley over the newly- made grave, with its open side towards the east. The mourners camped that night not far distant. Next morning the eastern sun spread his golden glory down the western undulations of grave of their beloved queen, and, to them, it was a sign that she had reached the land of light and of the rising sun. I learnt afterwards that the object of their peculiar and eccentric journeyings was to puzzle the evil one, and so prevent him from following their footsteps and catching the queen, before she had time to reach the eastern and sunny land of the good.—Certainly a very practical means of escape from the devil. ae I will now briefly refer to their language, and furnish a short ___ list of the words and phrases of those tribes who once inhabited the plains of Adelaide. The list is very brief and of cours? — THE ABORIGINES OF AUSTRALIA. 497 incomplete. The language possessed great flexibility, and was capable of a varied expression. Although its structure was not wanting in art, yet it seemed to be lacking in poetry. There was never anything in their conversation, even remotely, like what was common among the Red Indians of America or the inhabitants of New Zealand. It is difficult to give the exact pronounciation of the words. The accent often changed according to the meaning or earnestness of the speaker, much in the same way as ‘‘oratorical ” aid and example. By means of the list which I have arranged re so not articulate. It was truly laughable to witness the attempts Booyoolee—for example t was always pronounced as here written, crisply, as a word of three syllables, with the accent on the first. It had real music in it then, but of late years it has been altered to Bowley, and actually printed on the State School maps of the Colony as Boley! Let any one look at the wo thus and say which is best. It looks to my mind like Darwin’s scheme inverted. . Bod-yul-lee (pronunciation). Booyoolee. Bowley. Boley. In the spelling of native words the early settlers, surveyors, and government officials, in nearly all cases, deserve great praise for the success which generally attended their efforts to represent, by letters, the spoken language of the aboriginal races of Australia. I have done my best to spell the words so as to convey to the minds of others those sounds which, after the lapse of many years, my memory recalls with so vivid a distinctness, that for a time I again live over the scenes and circumstances of my early life.

Discussion. Mr. J. F. Mann—Said that what he had just heard read agreed very well with what he had observed of the customs and manners. of the aboriginals of Australia. He would like to point out one of the reasons why the blacks objected to eat the flesh of snakes which they had not themselves killed, or which had been deprived of life by the whites. It was well-known among bushmen that when a snake was driven into a corner, and it saw no way 0 escaping from its captors, it would turn round and bite itself. This fact was also known among the blacks, and they would refuse to eat any portion of a snake that had met death in that manner; agency of a couple of pieces of wood, a deal of controversy had been raised but no satisfactory solution of the native art had yet been arrived at. In producing fire two pieces of timber were always used. One of these pieces, having a small hole in it, was laid down horizontally while the point of the second piece was N.S.W. AS A HEALTH RESORT IN PHTHISIS PULMONALIS. 503 Mr. P.N. Trepeck—Referred to what Mr. Stephens had written about the fighting laws of the blacks, and he related a martial custom that was prevalent among the tribes. When a blackfellow killed an enemy, the first thing he did was to open and dissect the dead body, procure the kidney fat, and afterwards smear himsel from head to foot with the greasy and inodorous substance. The voracity of the people for food was on one occasion very clearly — exemplified to him. A number of blacks had encamped upon the edge of a swamp, in the mud of which a great multitude of eels were seen. e natives made a surfeit on the eels, and afterwards began to cry for no other reason than because they could eat no more. The Hon. L. F. De Satis—Drew attention to the universal prejudice that the aboriginals had to pork. The tribes in the far north could have had no intercourse with those of South Australia, yet their dislike to the flesh of swine appeared to be identical. NEW SOUTH WALES AS A HEALTH RESORT IN PHTHISIS PULMONALIS. By Bernarp James Newmarcu, M.R.C.S. Eng., L.R.C.P. Lond. [Read before the Medical Section of the Royal Society of N.S.W., July 19, 1889.] Ar our last meeting our worthy President deplored the scanty contribution of papers to be read before this Society, and at the suggestion of Dr. Knaggs devoted this evening to a discussion on the Climate of this country in the treatment of Phthisis. I was asked by him to open this discussion, but after I had acceded to his request I bitterly repented, for I feel I have no right to do so, my experience of the climate of this country and the treat- ment of the disease in question being very slight indeed, compared with that of others in this room. Still when asked I did not care to refuse, and you will pardon me if the matter is brought before you in a crude and imperfect manner, it cannot however diminish the value of the discussion; we hope to reap the benefit of the experience of all, whether that be little or great, and inasmuch as Thave presumed to open the discussion, it is hoped that those of little experience like myself will help in it. _ I think most of you here present will agree with me that the _ preconceived ideas of this climate, by which I mean the ideas of this 504 . BERNARD JAMES NEWMARCH. ' climate as formed at home are to say the least of it, extra- ordinary ; and when one looks back on the picture, as fancy painted it at home, both of climate and country, and then on the stern reality he is convinced that no picture can be truly painted, and that even the outline is imperfect and indistinct unless personal experience handle the brush ; it is the value of this personal ex- perience which is sought to night. Th memory recalls those IT have heard told to go to Australia for the sake of their health, I often wonder if the same advice would have been given if the giver had had practical experience of the climate and country. It is almost amusing to read the description of the climate of this country as set forth in various works and articles, descrip- ions more often than not, written by those who, at the most, have spent a few months in it. It would be amusing if the ghastly fact did not remain that these descriptions are too often the ground on which the advice to send a patient suffering from advanced phthisis to this country as a health resort is based. I _ have heard it stated as a fact that a certain well known writer described the country between Melbourne and Albury, the habits and mode of life of the inhabitants, and his impressions of the country districts of the colony of Victoria, simply from the knowledge gleaned by looking out of the railway carriage window on the two occasions on which he had to make the journey by overland express. I know for a fact that patients have been sent out ere by advice based on knowledge gained from no better source. Bruck’s ‘‘ Australian Health Resorts.” I am sorry to confess that I received very few answers, but I have tried my best to embody the views of those received in my remarks. I have here (Table A.) a table of Meteorological Results of the _ Inost important health resorts in New South Wales, together with xin Maps for the years 1884 and 1887 (1884 being one of the _ driest, 1887 one of the wettest years). The meteorological results are taken from information kindly supplied me by Mr. _ Russell, Government Astronomer. Mak _ _ being a vast country, and one with uliar geographical features, New South Wales disbkaile thestiiaaibe of various kinds, £0 N.S.W. AS A HEALTH RESORT IN PHTHISIS PULMONALIS. 505 and there is little doubt that it possesses some admirably adapted to the treatment of certain forms of Phthisis. I thought at first, that it would be an easy matter to describe an ideal climate, and then see in what way our climates agreed or differed; this found to be impossible, so much depending in the choice of one, on the different stages and varieties of Phthisis, so much on the individual constitution of the patient. The simplest idea that - comes to one’s mind is to choose a locality where the inhabitants do not suffer from Phthisis, such as the Andes; but as is so clearly pointed out by Dr. Williams in his work on Pulmonary Consumption, this is nota reliable ground to work on. I daresay there was a time when the deaths from Phthisis in this colony were few and very far between, and on looking over a list of dis- tricts in New South Wales, giving the number of deaths from all causes together with the number of deaths from Phthisis in 1887 in each district, which was prepared by Mr. Coghlan, Government Statistician, and kindly lent me by Dr. Pritchard Bassett of Bathurst, I had no difficulty in picking out numerous localities where the death rate from Phthisis was nil. (Table B.) Table C. is prepared from material kindly supplied me by Mr. E. Sager, whose courtesy I now gratefully acknowledge. The deaths from Phthisis during 1887 numbered 977, and a remarkable fact remains that the number of deaths from Phthisis reported in 1887 is less than that for the three preceeding years, 1886 =1,051, 1885=1,178, 1884=1,093. The reason for this diminished death rate may be due to the fact that the medical practitioner at home is more alive to the knowledge of the proper class of consumptive to send out here. It is to be hoped that this is the case, and I am inclined to think it is; for medical works lately written point out, more clearly than was previously done, the class of cases fit for climatic treatment, and the particular class of climate appropriate to each case. At any rate, if we cannot advocate the immunity ground so far as our cities go, Dr. MacLaurin points out in his valuable 506 BERNARD JAMES NEWMARCH. seed—‘ the soil is hereditary but the seed may not be sown in it.” Asan example, he quotes the very disease which we discuss. ke : MacLaurin’s paper, before referred to in which he points out the immunity of the Jewish population, simply from the care bestowed on the selection of food. In passing, [ would mention a matter which has struck me—-I have noticed the ee alent, but none the less dirty and abominable habit of expectoration practised here ; (you have “only to look at the pavements in Sydney to see what I mean) and thought of the numberless microbes which must be disseminated and breathed in the air of our streets solely through this habit. Authorities divide, for purposes of classification, the different climates into groups—for in nstance, Jaccon divides climates into two fundamental groups, viz., high climates with slight, and climates of the valley with moderate pies ee pressure Williams divides climates according to the combined charac- teristic meteorological and Glamesehiion! elements. Douglas Powell, after describing the different varieties of Phthisis to be treated at éle sae climates, divides the rest of the climates under seasonal headin Any suapree * clnsuiiindion must break down, and in the end one comes to on each individual case, and each individual uires a particular climate according to its peculiar characteristics. or purely systematic purposes we may divide the climates of New South Wales according to their geographical situations. A range of mountains runs parallel to the sea coast, this range forms the top of the elevated tableland upon which the Great Div iding Chain of mountains rises and from which the plains extend to the west. Thus we can divide the surface of New South Wales into —1. The Coast District. 2. The Table Lands. 3. The Plains. I propose to take each of these districts and shor tly describe the summer and winter meteorological peculiarities, and see in what measure they are suitable in the treatment of Pulmonary Phthisis. I. Coasr Disrricrts. Summer—tThe heat and the moist ener ot climate are almost proverbial. The temperature i is variable day by day, and during the day.

Winter—During some w or in dry years—the coast climate leaves little to be pee with a mean temperature of 56°, days warm and sunshiny, vigil moderately cold, westerly winds prevailing, the meteorological results at any rate will com- pare favourably with many health resorts which ar e highly recom- mended ; it is only right however to state that the variation in temperature, humidity and force of wind is very great. The district can be prescribed as a winter resort (I speak of winter here) in cases not suitable for treatment in rigorous climates, and in those cases not suitable for treatment in “ levated localities 5 ; where in point of fact it is sought to prevent inflammatory com- plications, e g, laryngeal, bronchial, and pneumonic inflammation, or where the indications are as pointed out by Jaccond “local preservation with improvement of constitutional condition.” II. Tasre Lanp This division holds a very important iisition: if i in this colony ment of Consumption by High Altitude Climate it is in this divi alone that we must seek to find them; and if by High Altitude Treatment we mean that it is necessary to have an altitude equal to- that considered requisite and available on the continent of Europe, viz., 6,000 to 7,000 feet above sea level, we can at once put the matter a seid, more especially so if, as authorities state, it is. essential in these latitudes that a still betes hee is needful. he altitude of our mountain resorts reaches the maximum of 4,600 feet st Kiandra, and the highest peak oe our colony is Kosciusko 7,800 feet above sea level. It remains to be proved whether any enthusiast will establish a sanatorium near the summit of that mountain ; but until that is done we have nothing which will satisfy the demands of the High Altitude advocates. Still, we have in this division a number of resorts with an elevation of 4, 600 to 1,543 feet above sea level, resorts which will in time be of inestimable value to us. The Swmmer in these mountain districts is hot by day and moderately cool by night, the temperature is very variable, and I have experienced bitterly cold windy days in summer ; the rai fall is moderate as a rule during the summer months, too moderate store the water required for consumption and use. Hot dusty winds are not uncommon. The climate may be described as bracing and stimulating. he Winter is rigorous, and from personal experience I can assure you that it will compete with any climate I know ; the =e 508 BERNARD JAMES NEWMARCH. is very variable, fairly warm one day, it may be bitterly cold the next. The rainfall is often excessive, and day after day may pass with one continuous downpour, till one wonders indeed why we ever drew comparison with any British climate. These mountain climates can be recommended for all cases of incipient Phthisis, more particularly in summer ; and if I were asked which was the best all the year round division I should, in spite of the cold winter, choose this. In chronic pneumonic, and hemorrhagic phthisis these climates are the best we have ; and even in advanced cases, provided there is a fair proportion of sound, or comparatively sound lung I would not hesitate to suggest these climates as the most preferable in summer. The winter climate of these mountain districts is by no means contra-indicated in incipient Phthisis; but I would not advise it in any case liable to inflammatory complication. The degree of 7 cases are 11 ended — N.S.W. AS A HEALTH RESORT IN PHTHISIS PULMONALIS. 509 only let these cases remain without that arising and they may live for years—this opens up the question of the prevalence of other lung — besides Phthisis, and their influence on the mortality of Phthis I fear, peclisnse. I have detained you far beyond the limits of patience, and I thank you for the patient hearing you have given me. I did not think it right to put forward any bold views which I may have on the subject, and I have tried to place the matter before you in an impartial manner, but I cannot end this paper without stating that I feel su e that a more careful selection of many be, considered. As a rule it is not the rich and well-to-do con- sumptive, one who can pick and choose his locality in search of health, that is sent out here, more often it is the middle class or poor one that is told he can Sad a healthful climate and occupation in Australia, it is perfectly true he can find both; but too often in the soareh for one he loses the other, and in the search for both he loses his life or gives up the chase to return home a sadder and wiser invalid.

Short sketch of the Histor y, Chemistry and Manufacture of Kerosene. Development of the Mineral-oil Lamp. The parts of the Lamp. Essentials :—1. The oil- vessel or fount. 2. The Burne 3. The Wick. 4.

The M lidnight Oil. The Ideal Lamp. How to manage a Kerosene Lamp. The Chair was occupied by Professor LIVERSIDGE, M.A., F.R.8., : President. There was a fair attendance, including several ladies. - The sient? dealt with his subject i in great det ail. oe ae 2 ink ” ‘boys as a gr olan ago, mps of burning oil were introduced, he said, by the Romans, who probably received the idea from the Egyptians and Pheenicians. This most ancient 512 PROCEEDINGS. lamp was used by the Latin races to-day. Illustrations were afforded of these classic lamps in contrast with the lamp still used by the Esquimaux, and with those improved lamps of to-day whose illuminating power is fifty times greater. Little alteration in form was made in the middle ages. In the 17th century minor alterations were introduced, but at its best the lamp for centuries consisted only of an oil vessel with a rush wick, or a piece of fibrous bark and a strand of hempen yarn. From 1786, the age lamps, and the “moderator” lamp. The changes necessary to suit lamps for the burning of mineral instead of animal or vegetable oils were next mentioned. In 1852 the first known oils—sperm, whale, colza, petroleum, &c., and their different qualities, the discovery of liquid kerosene and of kerosene shale, i ica and New South Wales. The preparation of the oil from shale as carried on in this colony was described ; first the destructive distillation of the shale, and afterwards the fractional distillation of the crude oil. The evolution of the kerosene lamps was made plain to the audience by means of a number of illustrations and examples, showing each progressive stage of improvement. e essential features of modern lamps— —globes, shades, stands, suspenders, lace and paper ornaments— each feature being discussed and the advantages of different types being pointed ou : The lecturer then recommended the observance of the following dep as to the construction and management of all kerosene amps :— 1. That portion of the wick which is in the oil-reservoir should be enclosed in a tube of thin sheet metal, open at the bottom, oF in a cylinder of fine gauze, such as is used in miners’ safety lamps (28 meshes to the inch). 2. The oil-fount or reservoir should be of metal rather than of china or glass. 3. Every lamp should have a proper extinguishing apparatus, — and ought never to be blown into in order to put it out. — Or it should go out of itself upon turning the wick down, as 1 the Defries or Harvey lamps. 4. Every lamp (iatended for standing) should have a broad PROCEEDINGS. 513 5. Wicks should be soft and well dried before a fire before being inserted into the lamp. They should be of such a size to fill the — completely without having to - squeezed in, and when first put in should be soaked with the o Management :—l. The reservoir must be filled with oil every time before using the lamp. 2., On lighting, the wick should be — esi and then gradually turned up after putting the chim Common flat wick lamps that have no eingalaiiees should be put out as follows :—Turn down the wick until only a small flickering flame is to be seen, then blow a sharp puff of breath Across the top of the chimney, but never pown it. In many of the modern lamps it is merely ange gt turn down the wick and the lamp may be left to go out of it 4. Cans or bottles used for oil should cn “kept free from water and dust, and must be kept clos 5. All lamps howd be trimmed during the daylight, preferably in the early morning. In conclusion, Mr. Hamlet spoke upon the safety or the dangers attending the use of the lamps referred to, and upon accidents, and to oil testing, and to the economy of the kerosene lamp. A vote of thanks to the lecturer for his interesting dissertation closed the proceedings. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1889. Prof. Liverstag, M.A., F.R.S., President, in the Chair, Twenty-one members were present. The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. The certificates of three candidates were read for the third time, of one for the second time, and of one for the first time. The following gentlemen were duly elected ordinary members of the Society :— Berney, George Sy ily Sydney. Campbell, G. 8. ; Sy Farr, J. J., J.P. ; Marsiokville: The Chairman announced that the Clarke Memorial Lectures ge We to be delivered on November the 13th, 20th, and 27th ., had been unavoidably postponed until April or May next, on rollrwhe of Mr. Wilkinson having been unable to prepare the lectures through absence from Sydney on Departmental business. He also announced’ with regret the death of the Rev. J. E. Tenison-Woods, F.G.S., F.L.8., Who had been an honorary member of this Society since 1875, and drew attention to an enlarged G @—December 4, 1889 514 PROCEEDINGS. portrait of that gentleman taken shortly before his death by Dr. Wright, and presented to the Society. Dr. J. Ashburton Thompson read a paper on “Aids to the Sanitation of Unsewered Districts (Poudrette Factories)” A discussion followed in which the following gentlemen took art :—Messrs. C. Moore, T. B. Trebeck, W. A. Dixon, F. B. Kyngdon, P. N. Trebeck, H. Deane, the Chairman, and the Author. In the absence of the author, the Hon. Secretary (Mr. Kyngdon) read a paper by Mr. E. C. Manfred—‘ Notes on Goulburn me.” r. John ©. H. Mingaye, r.c.s., read a paper—‘ Notes on some Minerals, &c.” The following discussion took place :— r, Lerp1us—I would like to ask Mr. Mingaye with regard to the occurrence of this platinum in Broken Hill: Was it pure latinum—does it occur as pure platinum ? Mr. Mincave—No, it occurs as platinum with the other metals> I separated them. I worked up a large quantity of the ore. Dr. Lersrus—And the analysis was done by dissolving ? Mr. Mincaye—Yes. by amalgamation. communication the other day from Broken Hill. A gentleman told me there had been a great deal of discussion there, the subject of the treatment 0 this unless there is 50 or 60 per cent. of platinum, but the value Mr. Mingaye puts upon it I think is rather high. Mr. Mixcaye—It is a great question whether platinum can be rated by concentration. It would not be two or three ounces to the ton. ; The Presipent—We are obliged to Mr. Mingaye for drawing attention to these matters, because no doubt if it can be found in anything like payable quantities it will be useful to this colony ; ut I agree with Mr. Dixon it must be found in a larger quantity, —because as far as I can recollect the value of crude platinum 1s not more than 10s. or 12s. an ounce in London,—that is before _ it can be treated. I am glad attention has been paid to the occurrence of these metals, because no doubt platinum is widely distributed, bnt usually in small quantities. It is a common thing to find it in limestone, and then there is this matter of the medicinal 2 S mineral water. Probably these waters will come in for APP is i ~~ PROCEEDINGS. 515 purposes. Then with regard to the tenerite ms I would like to ask Mr. Mingaye whether he tested for gold Mr. Mincayre—I did not test it for gold but for sean The thanks of the ee were accorded to the various anthors for their valuable paper: following anaes were laid upon the table and acknowledged :— Donations RECEIVED DURING THE Montu oF OcToser, 1889.
