ABSTRACT

Immediately after a death the Dieri shift their camp.6 The Warramunga remove every camp a considerable distance from the burial place, since no one desires to come in contact with the spirit of the dead man.7 The Herbert River tribes likewise shift their camp after a death.8 As soon as anyone belonging to the Yungman, Nullakun, Mungarai, Karrawa,

Binbinga, and Willingara. tribes dies, the camp is immediately shifted, because it is a belief that the spirit of which they have fear haunts its old camping ground.1 The aborigines of New South Wales shift their camp after a death has occurred.2*

On the seventh day after the burial of a male Kudiya, a booth is ereoted over the grave or place of ceremony.7
