Note 218 — Chapter II · THEORY OF THE HORDE AND MOTHER-RIGHT
Reading edition
The so-called "Pirauru marriage" of the Dieri tribe (Howitt, in Trans. R. S. Victoria, I, Part II, 1899, 96) and the "Dilpamali marriage" of the Kunandaburi tribe (Cunow, Australneger, 163). Practically the same is the Piraungaru custom of the Urabunna tribe which Spencer and Gillen, Native Tribes of Central Australia, 61 ff., regard as a "modified form of group-marriage."
