Source-grounded excerpt
ited as an example, another instance of the unreliability and invalidity of a deduction from negative evidence. Among the Kamilroi and allied tribes to the north of New South Wales the character of a beneficent deity, known as Baiarae, has been well elaborated. The name, according to the Rev. W. Ridley, is derived from 'baia,' to make or build hy cliopping. Baiame is the creator and preserver. The Wiradhuri regarded him under a slightly altered name, Baiamai, as eternal, omnipotent, and good. A supreme deity was known by the name of Anambu or Miuumbu by the Pikumbul tribe ; at Illawarra he was called Miriru ; on the Murray.
