veries in Australia,' vol. 1.
c. iv. p. 72:

"One of them had a kiley or bomerang."

1872. Mrs. E. Millett, `An Australian Parsonage; or, The
Settler and the Savage in Western Australia,' p. 222:

"The flat curved wooden weapon, called a <i>kylie</i>, which
the natives have invented for the purpose of killing several
birds out of a flock at one throw, looks not unlike a bird
itself as it whizzes (or <i>walks</i> as natives say) through
the air in its circular and ascending flight. . ."

1885 Lady Barker, `Letters to Guy,' p. 177:

"More wonderful and interesting, however, is it to see them
throw the kylie (what is called the boomerang in other parts of
Australia), a curiously curved and flat stick, about a foot
long and two or three inches wide. . . . There are heavier
`ground kylies,' which skim along the ground, describing
marvellous turns and twists, and they would certainly break
the leg of any bird or beast they hit; but their gyrations
are nothing compared to those of a good air-kylie in skilful
hands."

<hw>Kinaki</hw>, <i>n</i>. a Maori word for food eaten with
another kind to give it a relish. Compare Grk. <i>'opson</i>.

1820. `Grammar and Vocabulary of Language of New Zealand'
(Church Missionary Society), p. 164:

"Kinaki. Victuals, added for variety's sake."

1873. `Appendix to Journal of House of Representatives,'
vol. iii. G. 1, p. 5:

"If it be a Maori who is taken by me, he will also be
made into a kinaki for my cabbage."

1878. R. C. Barstow, `Transactions of New Zealand
Institute,' vol. XI. art. iv. p. 71:

"Fifty years ago it would have been a poor hapu that could
not afford a slave or two as a kinaki, or relish, on such an
occasion."

<hw>King-fish</hw>, <i>n</i>. In New Zealand a sea-fish,
<i>Seriola lalandii</i> (Maori, Haku), sometimes called the
<i>Yellow-tail</i>; in Victoria, <i>Sciaena antarctica</i>,
Castln. Called <i>Jew-fish</i> (q.v.) in New South Wales.
Tenison Woods says the King-fish of Port Jackson must not be
confounded with the King-fish of Victoria or the King-fish of
Tasmania (<i>Thyrsites micropus</i>, McCoy). The Port Jackson
King-fish belongs to a genus called "Yellow-tails" in Europe.
This is <i>Seriola lalandii</i>, Cuv. and Val. <i>Seriola</i>
belongs to the family <i>Carangidae</i>, or <i>Horse-
Mackerels</i>. <i>Thyrsites</i> belongs to the family
<i>Trichiuridae</i>. The "Barracouta" of Australasia is
another species of <i>Thyrsites</i>,
