ould be fixed by the local government of the colony to which such native should belong, and that, if possible, this grant should be given in that district to which this native by birth belonged. That, in addition to this grant, he should receive a sum of money, the amount of which should also be fixed by the local government, and which should be drawn from the fund raised by the sale of Government lands, and which sum should be expended in goats, poultry, etc., so as to enable the native in some manner to stock his land. That any native, having only one wife, who produced a certificate of the civil marriage contract having been performed between himself and her, by the resident of the district to which he belonged, should be entitled to a small reward. That any natives who registered duly the birth of any of their children should be entitled to a small reward. That some competent person should be paid to instruct two native boys in such a manner as to qualify them to act as interpreters in courts of law, and that as soon as they are found competent they should be employed for this purpose. I believe that many other regulations, similar to these, would be found to produce a very beneficial effect. ... APPENDIX. APPENDIX A. GENEALOGICAL LIST TO SHOW THE MANNER IN WHICH A NATIVE FAMILY BECOMES DIVIDED. Nar-doo-itch or Mo-rel-li, a Ballar-oke, born about A.D. 1735, had two wives, Kan-dow-ree, a Ngotak, and Bol-ye-ree, a No-go-nyuk. Kan-dow-ree, had the following children: Yin-dee-ree, female. Wun-ya-ree, female. Kag-a-ree, female. Yung-al, male. Wal-luk-wur, male. These were all Ngotaks. Three of these children, Yin-dee-ree, Wun-ya-ree, and Kag-a-ree, were by Nar-doo-itch's brother, her former husband. Bol-ye-ree's children were: Kow-en-ung, female. No-gong-o, male. Jee-bar, male. Koon-a-ber-ra, male. Ko-teyne, male. By-er-man, male. These were all No-go-nyuks. Kim-be-yen-ung, a Tdon-dar-up, married, amongst other wives, Noo-yar, a Ballar-oke. Noo-yar's children were: Yow-at-ung, female.* Kad-jen-ung, female. Ban-in-yung, female. Now-ween-gool, female. These were all Ballar-okes. (*Footnote. Married to Yungal, a son of Nar-doo-itch.) ... In order to show the way in which the different families marry into one another I will now trace up the descendants of some of the male children of Nar-doo-itch by each of his wives.
