Masculine Murree BROTHER AND SISTER Feminine, Matha Thus, you see, they take, if girls, their grandmother's and her sisters' 'class' names in common; if boys, the 'class' name of their grandmother's brothers.

Every now and then we heard a bird note, which made the women glance at each other and say, first, 'Guadgee, then 'Bootha, as it came again, and a third time 'Hippitha. To my uneducated ear the note seemed the same each time. I asked Bootha what it was.

Further back in the country, they tell me, the crow, the eaglehawk, and the bees were original totems, not multiplex ones, as with us.

I have dedicated my booklet to Peter Hippi, in grateful recognition of his long and faithful service to myself and my husband, which has extended, with few intervals, over a period of twenty years.
