? Waramunga tribe of Central Australia which has
eight subdivisions. Further than this it shews
the location of tribes of abnormal type with female
descent, abnormal types with male descent,
and abnormal tribes with no class divisions.

In the Journal of the Anthropological Institution of
1890, page 30, he will find another pioneer paper
entitled "The Dieri and other Kindred Tribes [underlined]
of Central Australia" [underlined] which is accompanied by a map
shewing the tribes in the Lake Eyre District which practise
circumcision and subcision.

Altogether I published thirteen pioneer papers
which contain practically the information which I [have - crossed out]
elaborated in my Native Tribes of South East Australia in 1904.

It is to be regretted that Mr Mathews should make
such rash and random statements.
