Postscript

                 Since the foregoing was written I have submitted the 

"note-book" and my lists therefrom, to Mr R.C. Law Hony Secretary

of the Clarence River Historicial Society. Mr Law's local

knowledge, particularly in regard to Place Names, has

helped me so considerably that almost all the missing

words (about 24) have now been deciphered and

they, with their meaning, are now included herein.

   In stating that Mr Hewitt's lists are from the

"Upper Clarence" it should be noted that I am doubtful 

whether his researches extended much beyond Yulgilbar

and its locality so that the blacks of the far Upper Clarence

embracing Bonalbo, Tooloom, Woodenbong, Koreelah

etc, may have spoken quite a different dialect.

Yulgilbar district is about 60 miles from Grafton.
