Through the generosity of Mr. David Syme of Melbourne this difficulty was soon' removed, and we were free to make all the necessary arrangements. In offering our warmest thanks to Mr. Syme, we can only express the hope that the results of our work are such as to justify his generosity. Some months before our departure we sent up stores by camel team to the stations at Alice Springs, Barrow Creek.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Native Tribes of Central Australia It has been the lot of one of us to spend the greater part of the past twenty years in the centre of the continent, and as sub-protector of the Aborigines he has had exceptional opportunities of coming into contact with, and of gaining the confidence of, the members of the large and important Arunta tribe, amongst whom he has lived, and of which tribe both of us, it may be added, are regarded as fully initiated members. In the month ofjuly, 1894, we met at Alice Springs, when the scientific expedition organised by Mr. W. A. Horn, of Adelaide, visited that part of the continent, and it was then that one of us gave to Dr. E. C. Stirling, the anthropologist of the expedition, notes which have since been published in the anthropological section of the report on the work of the expedition. This report included the results of the informa tion gained up to that time with regard to the Central tribes, and in respect to certain points, we have, to some extent, had to traverse the same ground in order to make our account as complete as possible but it was very evident that in regard to the customs and organisation of the tribe we were then only on the threshold of the inquiry, and at a subsequent time we determined to carry on the work.
