[940] On the composition of Bunjil's family, for example, see Howitt, Nat. Tr., pp. 128, 129, 489, 491; Brough Smyth, I, pp. 417, 423; for Baiame's, see L. Parker, The Euahlayi, pp. 7, 66, 103; Howitt, Nat. Tr., pp. 502, 585, 407; for Nurunderi's, Taplin, The Narrinyeri, pp. 57 f. Of course, there are all sorts of variations in the ways in which the families of these great gods are conceived. The personage who is a brother here, is a son there.
