Goang-un, _A spear about eight feet long, with four barbs on each side_.--The natives make use of this spear when they advance near their adversary, and the thrust, or rather the stroke, is made at the side, as they raise the spear up, and have a shield in the left-hand. A wound from this spear must be mortal. The only colours we have as yet discovered they have any knowledge of, are--Red, _Morjal_; White, _Taboa_; Black, _Nand_; Green, _Boolga_. The females of each tribe are distinguished by the word "-Leon_," added to the name which distinguishes the chief: it is supposed that the word "-Gal_," signifies -tribe_, and the word preceding it is the word of distinction; probably, it is the place where the tribe resides. The following instances may serve to confirm these suppositions. MEN. WOMEN. Camera-gal Cameragal-leon. Cadi-gal. Cadigal-leon. Won-gal. Wongal-leon. Gwea-gal. Gwea-gal-leon. Boora me di-gal. Booramedigal-leon. Norongera-gal. Norongera-gal-leon. W
