THE EDITOR'S PREFACE. THIS volume is issued by the Government of Kew South Wales, as a record of the language of native tribes that are rapidly disappearing from the coasts of Eastern Australia. Presentation copies will be sent to the chief learued societies at home and abroad. The indigenes of the Sydney district are gone long ago, and some of the inland tribes are represented now only by a few families of wanderers. In all New South Wales, there are only eve thousand full-blood blacks; only four or five hundred in Victoria; and in Tasmania the native race became extinct in 1876. They ha~e decayed and are decaying in spite of the fostering care of our Colonial Governments. A considerable portion of this volume consists of Mr. Threlkeld's acquisitions in the dialect which I have called the Arrabakal, from bwaba, the native name for Lake Macquarie-his sphere of labour. But we have now come to know that this dialect was essentially the same as that spoken by the sub-tribes occupying the land where Sydney now stauds, anc! that they all formed parts of one great tribe, the Kfiriggai. In an Appendix I have collected several Grammars and Vocabularies as a contribution to a comparative lino\vledge of the dialects. The ]nap and other illustrations are lieu-, and were prepared for this work. The Gospel by St. Lulre herein is now of no practical value, except to a linguist ; but it is unique, and it shows the structural system of the language. SY dney, May, 1892. JOHK FBASER.
