THE MAROUPvA TRIBE.

System of kinship found amongst the Maroura tribe.

The Maroura inhabit the country at the junction of the River Darling with the River Murray, and a considerable distance up the Darling.

In the names for relationship, there are diiferent terminations for those that are ' mine,' ' yours,' ' hers '; e.g.,

Kambiya, ' my father.' Grammugiyi, ' my mother.'

Kambiyanna, 'your father.' Grammugammu, 'your mother.'

Kambiyanna, 'his father.' Kittha gammu, 'his mother.'

These Marouras are the tribe which descended the Daiding between the years 1831 and 1836 {cf. "Mitchell's Expedition"). The Narrinyeri have a tradition that they came down the Darling and then across the desert to the head of Lake Albert.
