side of the encampment, facing a direction in which their country was situated.

In order to fix as accurately as possible these positions of the camps of a related group, I got some of the Kurnai to point out on a piece of ground where various members of a family group, whom I would name, would camp. From their statements I formed a diagram, and from it I extracted the following particulars. The starting-point is supposed to be the camp of a man and his wife. The directions are given approximately by compass bearings, and the distances by paces. The nature of the ground required that the encampment should extend in a certain direction.

1. Man and wife.
2. Married son of 1.	5 paces from 1.
3. Father and mother of 1.	20 paces from 1.
4. Brother of 1 and wife.	20 paces from 1.
5. Father and mother of the wife of 1.	100 paces from 1.
6. Married son of 5.	The same distance.
7. The married brother of the mother of 1	${\displaystyle \scriptstyle {\left.{\begin{matrix}\ \end{matrix}}\right\}\,}}$ 10 paces each from 1.
8. The married sister of the father of 1.
If the sister of the wife of 1 had been present with her husband, they could have camped anywhere near, so long as not actually close to 1. If there had been a married daughter of 1 there, her husband would have been in the same position as regards her mother as the wife of 5 was as to 1, and must have camped at a similar distance. A Brogan who stands in the relation of brother to 1 could occupy a position suitable to that relation. Owing to the nature of the ground all the huts could face the sunrise, which is a favourite aspect.

In the camps of the Kurnai, custom regulates the position of the individual. The husband and wife would sleep on the left-hand side of the fire, the latter behind it,
