Here, the number of other words ending in _na_ is very considerable;

so considerable that, if it were not for the cumulative evidence

derived from other quarters, it would be doubtful whether the =na=

however, be so even in the present instance.

To these we may add two lists from the Lobo and Utanata dialects of the

south-western coast of New Guinea.
