Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. During subsequent periods Of my official residences in these Islands prior to the year 1880, while making ethnological researches among the aborigines, I arranged a Vocabulary con taining some words with numerous illustrative phrases.
