The word for "Head" at Popham Bay, North Australia, is Koala (Koolie, Gunbower, Victoria); "Opossum" at Wellington Valley and at Regent's Lake, Lachlan, is Willee (Wille, Lake Hindmarsh); "Fire," at Karaula, in lat. 29° S., is Wè (Wee, Wimmera district); and "Crow," at Byrne's Creek, near the Lachlan, is Waagan (Wangan, Barnawartha).

A number of similar coincidences might be given, and it is not far wrong to say that, in the dialects of Victoria, the words for Head, Hair, Tongue, Teeth, Eye, Hand, Foot, Blood, Bone, Night, Snake, Crow, and Sun coincide; and that throughout Australia the words for Eye, Tongue, Hand, Teeth, Blood, Sun, and Moon are the same, or nearly the same. There are exceptions, it is true; but these are explained by the habits of the natives and the probability of errors having crept into the vocabularies.
