The Kamilaroi[38] scale is still more irregular, compounding above 4 with little apparent method.

The numerals are _mal_, 1, _bular_, 2, _guliba_, 3, _bular bular_, 4, _bular guliba_, 5, _guliba guliba_, 6.

The last two numerals show that 5 is to these natives simply 2-3, and 6 is 3-3.

For additional examples of a similar nature the extended list of Australian scales given in Chapter V.
may be consulted.
Taken as a whole, the Australian and Tasmanian tribes seem to have been distinctly inferior to those of South America in their ability to use and to comprehend numerals.

In all but two or three cases the Tasmanians[39] were found to be unable to proceed beyond 2; and as the foregoing examples have indicated, their Australian neighbours were but little better off.
