Summary
Discussion of marriage rules and classes, with reference to Dieri and Waramunga groups. Includes references to the original two-class system suggested by Dr Fison and A.W. Howitt; group-marriage; and, to the 'hypothetical undivided commune'. Not entirely certain that the pages are directly connected to each other.
