Note

This record of "Aboriginal Tribes" is both interesting
and valuable. In my booklet (1935) of "Aboriginal
Words and Names", Lower Clarence River Dialect" I
wrote of my informant Freeburn as " native of
the Yumbah Tribe". I assumed this as he was
born and bred at a place he calls "Yumbah" at
the Clarence River heads. Apparently my
assumption was wrong and Freeburn probably
belongs to either "Yoon-gi"  or "Watchi-Watchi".

Near the end of his note book Mr Hewitt states
that "Richmond River blacks call Clarence", then
comes an unreadable word which may be
"tribes", "Koom-bin-jir" and the Logan (tribe)
"Kul-lum-bil". There is an intervening word
* "Kow-al" but I cannot decipher its meaning
                                                     R.L.D.

* R.R. blacks call themselves "Kow-al"
