ftnd Eagle Hawk and Crow opposed, appearing in
Opposite phratries in five cases, just as they do in tribes
far south.* Again, in the Kulin "nation," now extinct,
we learn that their phratries were Bunjil {Eagle Hawk)
and Waa (Crow), while of the totems nothing is known."
It is obvious that several phratry names, capable of being
translated, mean these two animals, Eagle Hawk and
CrOw, white two other widespread phratry names, Yun-
garu and Wutaru, appear to be connected with other
animals, "The symbol of the Yungaru division," says
Mr. Bridgman, "is the Alligator, and of the Wutaru,
the Kangaroo."' Mr. Chatfield, however, gives Eniu or
Carpet Snake for Wutaru, and Opossum for Yungaru.*

More certain animal names for phratries are Kroki-
Kumite ; Krokitch-Garautch ; Krokitch-Kuputch ; Ku-
urokeetch-Kappatch ; Krokage-Kubitch ; all of which
denote two separate species of cockatoo ; while these
birds, scmetimes UH(Ur other names, are totems in the
phratries named after them. The tribe may not know
the meaning of its phratry names. Thus, in tribes east
of the Gournditch Mara, Kuurokeetch means Long-billed
Cockatoo, and Kappatch means Banksian Cockatoo, as
1 understand.* But, within the phratries of all ihe
Kuurokeetch- Kappatch forms of names, the two Cocka-
toos also occur under otker names, as totem kins : such
names arc Karaal, Wila, Wurant, and Garchuka.'"

In the Annan River tribe, Mr. Howitt gives the
phratries as Walar (a Bee), and Maria (a Bee), doubtless
two Bees of different species.' In this case two names
of matrimonial classes, Walar and Jorro, also mean Bee.
