Note 544 — Chapter IV · TOTEMIC BELIEFS—end The Individual Totem and the Sexual Totem

Joseph Ward Swain translation

Some cases are cited where each sexual group has two sexual totems; thus the Wurunjerri unite the sexual totems of the Kurnai (the emu-wren and the linnet) to those of the Wotjobaluk (the bat and the nightjar owl). See Howitt, Nat. Tr., p. 150.
