FOOTNOTES:

[1] Nat. Tribes, p. 157. It is hardly necessary to point out that this phrase is without a precise sense, unless it be evident in what sense the author uses the conception "social unit." One looks in vain for such a definition in Howitt.

[4] Compare the passage quoted by A. Lang, just below, and the passage quoted by us, [pp. 108] sqq., and [p. 243]. How far Spencer and Gillen have the right to deny the existence of the individual family among the Urabunna will be discussed in detail below.

[5] I have quoted the best first-hand authorities; instances could easily be multiplied as well from their works as also from other sources.
