                                                          ---- An Introduction and an Explanation -----

The following lists of Aboriginal words and names,

with their meanings, were collected by Mr Hewitt

apparently in, or about, the year 1909.

His works were evidently hurridly [sic] taken in pencil

and are indistinctly written, so much so indeed

that it is almost impossible to decipher some of

the Aboriginal words or their English equivalents.

Mr Hewitt's son, Mr N.C. Hewitt of Tweed Heads NSW 

recently sent me his father's note book to do the

best I could with it in the way of deciphering,

classifying, and arranging the words.

This I have done on the same lines as used

in my own ABoriginal booklets of words and names

collected from Richmond River and Lower.
