Summary A.W. Howitt's relationship questionnaire/circular entitled 'Terms of Relationship' completed by Jocelyn Brooke. Response relates to the social organisation and relationship terms of the Kaibara group of Queensland. Contains relationship terms for e.g. husband, mother's sister and lists what one individual calls another. Also presents several lists of Aboriginal words. Although undated, much of the correspondence from J. Brooke to A. Howitt took place largely between 1882-1885.
Physical Description Printed questionnaire/circular, handwritten responses in ink, undated. Six sheets, seven pages. First page has been adhered to a backing sheet. Next two pages are adhered together on left margin (originally all pages seem to have been bound together but have been separated). Last three pages are separate and have been cut in half.
