20. With regard to the internal divisions of the group or tribe, depending upon family relationships, I cannot do better than refer the reader, as a preliminary, to a preusal of Chapter III of my Ethnological Studies. I there threshed the subject out fairly thoroughly for that district, with the result that, in spite of the way few alterations and additions since discovered and now incorporated, i propose taking it as a standard for comparison. Gamo-matronyms have been found in the East Coast districts; in the Rockhampton area, except at Gladstone and Miriam Vale, as wittaru and yangaru, corresponding with the Boulia (Pitta-Pitta) utaru and pakuta respectively.
The four paedomatronyms of the North West districts, the Kupuru, Wungko, Kurkilla, and Banbari, I have been able to trace personally, since 1895, and to identify practically throughout the length and breadth of North Queensland, except in the Peninsula (Pennefather River) about which something further has to be said. The following is a fairly typical list of them *21
