The Senr  Const saw several of the old aborigines and obtained   the meaning of thirty names from them. It is hard to obtain accurate meanings of the names from the aborigines in this District, as they are a mixed lot formerlly belonging to different Tribes, most of which the old black state " had different meanings for the names   of places.
