Editor's note. The same myth is recounted in Foelsche (1895) with some details that indicate the informant's version mixed in details taken from what he had picked up from contact with whites. Thus he has the underground figure Nanganburra reading from a book before judging the fate of the aboriginal deceased in the otherworld. Message sticks are replaced by letters, etc. (Foelsche 1895, pp. 191–192) Foelsche, Paul (1895).
