The largest number we saw together amounted to nearly two hundred, women and children included.
THEIR WEAPONS AND IMPLEMENTS.
Their arms consist of stone-headed spears (which they throw with great strength and precision) of throwing sticks, boomerangs or kileys, clubs, and stone hatchets.

The dogs they use in hunting I have already stated to be of a kind unknown in other parts of Australia, and they were never seen wild by us.
The natives manufacture their water-buckets and weapons very neatly; and make from the bark of a tree a light but strong cord.

Their huts, of which I only saw those on the sea-coast, are constructed in an oval form of the boughs of trees, and are roofed with dry reeds.

The diameter of one which I measured was about fourteen feet at the base.
LANGUAGE.
Their language is soft and melodious, so much so as to lead to the inference that it differs very materially, if not radically, from the more southern Australian dialects which I have since had an opportunity of enquiring into.

Their gesticulation is expressive, and their bearing manly and noble.
