3. Besides the above stations, there are fifteen depbts, in various parts of the colony, in charge of local guardians, where those Aborigines who decline to live on the stations can obtain supplies if in want. These, about 250 in number, are living outside the stations, the greater number being on the Mumay between Echuca and Ned’s Corner.

4. Return of the number of births, marriages, and deaths on the various stations during the year :-

The Coranderrk hops again realized the highest price of any colonial-grown hops sold in the Melbourne market. Owing to the scarcity of able-bodied men on the station, it has been considered advisable to reduce the acreage under hops, and for the future only to cultivate 10 acres.

* Of this number, 4 were over 60 years of age and 7 nnder 15 months of age.

t The income from Coranderrk is paid into the Treasiiry.

Whooping-cough was the mnse of death of the children.

8. The Roard are pleased to report that the conduct of the Abori,' mines 011 tlie stations has been very satisfactory, and, as Mr. Shaw states in his report on Coranderrk, the year has passed away in comparative peace, quietness, and contentinen t.

APPENDIX I. SIR, Cornnderrk, 1st Ju ly , 1886.

I have the honour to forward you my report on this station for the last year ended June 30th, 1886. The conduct and condition of the people generally has been most satisfactory throughout the year.

There has been little or no trouble amongst them through drunkenness or quarrelling, and the year has passed away in comparative peace, quietness, and contentment.

The work of moral and religious teaching lias been regularly attended to, both by myself and the Rev. Mr. Mackie, who visits and gives US a service every other Sunday evening.

I t is much to be regretted, however, that the school has been without a teacher for some months. I hope, horn-ever, that a suitable person will soon be :rppoiuted to take up and carry on the very important work of educating the young children.

The number resident on the station dnring the twelve months has been as follows:-

July . . . . . . 92 . . . . . . 96 I January . . . . . . 94 ...... 97 August . . . . . . 92 . . . . . . 96 February ...... 90 . . . . . . 96 September . . . . . . 80 ...... 83 1 Yarch . . . . . . 90 . . . . . . 93

December . . . . . . 89 ...... 92 1 Junc . . . . . . IH) . . . . . . 95 The above consist of the following, viz., 29 males, 24 females, whose ages vary from 14 to 65 years.

Under the age of 14 years there are 24 boys and 18 girls. Of the adult males, there are only about 15 ablc- bodied men, so that the whole work of the establisliineut falls upon a very few, the half-castes doing the lion's share of it, in fact if it werc not for them, much white laboiir would have to be employed, or the hop industry, and almost all farming operatione abandoned.

We have had only one marriage. Louisa Hunter was married to Wm. Russell on the 5th of October; both half-castes.

The health of the people was not so good during the first half of the year, a great nnmber being il l for some time with what was called '' fog fever," but since then there has been no unnsnd amount of sickness.

The season having been very favourable, the hop crop was somewhat unnsually heavy, amounting to 76 bales, or nearly ten tons, and being also of excellent quality and well cured, realized, as usual, the highest price in the market. In addition to the liop crop, we gathered in about eight tons of hay, and six tons of potatoes, which, of coursc, will all be consumed 011 the station.

One two-room cottage lias been erected for Dick Richards nnd his wife, and they are now comfortably settled in it. I may mention that Dick has added to the comfort and appearance of the cottage by putting up a small bnt neat verandah, entirely a t his own expense, which is very creditable to him.

The scrub and forest of yonng saplings that were growing upon the hill in front of the station have been cut down and burnt, and all the larger trees hnve been rung on the left side of onr road leading to the gate on the main road.

A new stock-yard, calf-peu, and milking-shed have beeu erected by the nntivcs, who also got the material and did the whole of the work themselves in a most substantial and creditable manner. The same men have also got the material for, and are now busy erecting a new gallows and killing-yard, which was, indeed, very mnch needed. Other improvements of lesser importaiice l~avc also been effected, so that the station iiow presents a neat, comfortable, and orderly appearance, and tllc ntrtives have good reason to be thankful, happy, and contented.

Tile number and kinds of stock belonging to the station are as follow:,:-C!ows, 42; calves, 23; heifers, 0; steers, 20; bulls, 2; horses, 11; working bdlock~, 10. Thus it will be sccn that the total number of our cattle is now only 106. I am, however, glad to hear we are soon to have the number of the stock increased, and I am qiiite sure they will well repay the outlay, for there is abnndnncc of grass on the reserve.

The stock we have are ncnrly all young, and of good quality, and, if allowed to grow, will show well in a year or two.

I n conclusion, I have to thank you and the Board for your ready help in all miitters affecting the comfort and well-being of the natives.

Varions improvements havc been made.

A very sm:tll herd indeed for our reserve.

I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant,

JOSEPH SHAW. Capt. Page, Secretary and Inspector of Aborigines, Board for Protection of Aborigines, Melbourne.

APPENDIX 11. SIR, Mission Station, Lake Tyers, September 2nd, 1886.

I have the hononr to forward my annual report of progress a t Lake Tyers. 1. The attendance of aboriginals during the year has been very steady, having been over 74. A

few still continue unsettled, as there are over a hundred in the district. 2. I append the list of births, marriages, and deaths, in which you will see that we have had three

births, three deaths, and two marriages. One of the deaths was a child who was scrofulous: the others were two old men who had passed the usual term of existence.

The children are also instructed in the principles of onr religion by a teacher appointed by the commihtee of the Church of England Mission to Aborigines.

During the year 21 head of cattle have been killed for food, and 4 have died. I find as the blacks get settled they become more reliant upon thu proceeds of the station, as they do not hunt so much as they used to do; hence we have nsed much more meat than we did formerly.

5. The buildings on the station number 16, 10 of which are for the use of the aborigines. These consist of very comfortable two-roomed cottages, well lined with pine boards, and varnished. We have, during the year, put up 3 new cottages, and have pulled down 2 very old ones. This gives the etation a more finished appearance.

6. The cultivation on the station was confined to potatoes and vegetables for use. There was an acre cultivated, bnt the season was not favorable, being so very dry that our crop was much below average crops. I am happy to state that the present season promises better, as we have had some good rains, which makes the country look fresh and green. The cattle are already looking better, and we may be thankfnl for the prospect of better beef and goodvegetables-a luxury that has been unknown to us for the past five years.

They have cleared a few acres on the eastern slope of the hill upon which the station stands. This is uow being fenced with n. very strong three- railed fence by William Thorpe and Neddy O'Ronrke, who are, I am happy to say, two very indnstrious men. This I intend to fence, and get ready for next year's crop. The aborigines have also stripped about 17 tons of wnttle bark, 10 of which were sold : the other is on the way to market.

3. The number attending school is 27, of which 13 are males and 14 females.

4. The stock at present on the station consists of 40 head of mixed cattle, and 95 sheep. We have also killed 211 sheep.

7. The blacks have been employed in clearing the ground.

I am also clearing a patch of ground of some few acres on the hill opposite the station.

8. The income and expenditure for the year is as follows:- INCOME. EXPENDITURE. I B S. a. o S. a.

9. The general health of the station has been very good, as will be seen by the death-rate. 10. I am sorry to say that the drinking habit has not yet died out, though I do all I can to keep the

people at the station, yet a few of the more incorrigible ones sometimes get drink. However, I am glad to state they do not bring i t to the station, so that those who are settled have no temptation iu that direction.

I must express my thanks to the Board, on behalf of the aborigines, for the very liberal supply of stores they have received, and for the general attention which the wants of the blacks have hail from the Board and its efficient secretary.

I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient servant,

APPENDIX 111. SIR, Aboriginal Station, Lake Hindmarsh, Augnst 3 0 9 , 1886.

I have the hononr to report on this station and the Aborigines located here as follows:- The average attendance has been unusually small dnring the year 18854, being only 46, as against

upwards of 60 last year. This low average is not due to any serions decrease in our numbers, hi t , amongst the rest, to circumstances to which I intend to refer briefly. When, in July, 1885, the railway from Dim- boola to the s. A. Border was commenced, and .€$ a hundred for posts and 4s. each for sleepers was offered by the contractors, the able-bodied men, seized with an irresistible desire to make money, left the station for the works in a body, and, considering the amount charged for the rations for their wives and children excessive, preferred to take them with them into the bush. Some of them soon returned disappointed and out of pocket; others, however, manfully stuck to the work till no more material was required, bnt bronght their families back after the charges for rations had been reduced. This work for the line, with its monthly pay-day in Dimboola, has not proved an unmixed good to all the men. They fell in with bad company, got intoxicated, mere locked up by the police, and one of them who, in addition, violently resisted the police, was sentenced to six months’ imprisonment in Ararat gaol by the Dimboola magistrates, a circnmstniice which we deeply deplored. Those who had been unable to make money a t splitting and cutting sleepers for the line, sought and Tonnd remunerative (as they imagined) work with the Mallee allotment holders and others, but I am afraid the result fcll far short of their expectations. Those who left their families here paid for their rations according to the fixed scale.

No improvements were made here during the first six months, owing to the causes given above, the number of hands available for work being at times insufficient for the ordinary work of the station. Gradually, however, au improvement took place, and since January there have been several gaugs of men at work in various parts of the reserve, cutting down and burning scrob. They have made fair progress with their work, and cleared about 120 acres of ground. To encourage them, I paid them from 6d. to 1s. per acre for their work, according to the density of the scrnb. I am of opinion that they shonld receive small wages to enable them to bny luxuries, such as jam, bntter, &e., with which they are not snpplied by the Board. The nnmber of births has been three, that of deaths six, including five infants and one young woman. In January whooping cough in B severe form broke out amongst the children, of which three infants died. The woman snccnmbed to an attack of fever. The health of the natives has, with thc exception given above, been fairly good. One man, however, had to be sent to the lunatic asylum in Ararat, of which he had been an inmate on two previous occasions. His constitution is broken down, and, to all appearance, he cannot survive long. I beg to thank the Board for the grant of free railway passes to somct of the men whose health has been failing for a considerable time, thus enabling them to visit other stations for the benefit of their health, or to seek medical advice in more distant towns. The old people in the min-bias have been well, happy, and contented, and are thankful to the Board for the extra sugar and tobacco allowed them.

The season has been the driest I can call to mind. From August to to *January, and again from January to end of June, no rain to speak of fell. As may be imagined, the hay crop was a failnre in con- sequence, and what little was harvested WBS consumed by the end of May, when I had to commence bnping horse-feed at the enormously high price of 5 7 10s. per ton delivered here. But for the heavy rains in January, feed for sheep and cattle would have been scarce, and losses in stock the result. So far, tlianks to those rains, we have lost none of our stock.

The new fence ronnd the reserve, erected a t the expense of the Board, has proved an unqualified blessing, and our best thanks are doe to the Board for their kind liberality in giving us this fence. Owing to the severe drought which prevailed during the whole year, the returns have not been quitc up to expec- tation, but nevertheless must, under the circumstances, be considered satisfactory. We have always had milk, and, during the greater part of tile year, also hotter. For more than eight months we killed sheep and cattle of our own rearing for meat for the station, which means H great saving of expense, say $80, for meat. The income from wool, hides, and skins has been nearly $30; and last, bnt not least, the feeling of security which we had concerning onr stock, and which we had not known before. The reserve niay now be considered clear of rabbits, a result which was not achieved withont the most strenuous exertions on my own part. Remarks that were made last year as to the rahbit-infested state of tlio reserve, which no doubt the Board will remember, were quite uncalled for; people up here know better. No one has suffered more seriously than we have, both from the rabbits in the Mallee allotments bordering upon the reserve and from the dogs of the neighbours, which have killed a considerable nnmber of our sheep.

The income from the vines is less than formerly, owing to competition causing a considerable reduc- tion in the price of grapes. The income from this source has been about $17 10s. The vines are much healthier now than they were some years ago. Fruit-trees continue to suffer from the ravages of white ants, and several were destroyed by this pest. Peaches, cherry-plums, apples, &c., continue to do well, bnt not apricots.

The number of houses for the blacks is insufficient, and some new ones are urgently required. The stable al$o is tumbling to pieces, but I will try to get i t rebuilt by the men.

The stock depasturing on the reserve at present comprises circa 30 head of cattle, 350 sheep and lambs, and 3 horses.

The blacks have given no cause for complaint on account of insubordination or bad conduct here on the station, bnt several cases of drunkenness in the township of Dimboola have come to our knowledge. I have requested the police to have an eye on those blacks that are seen in thestreets of Dimboolu, but altliongh some of the men got drunk, so far no conviction of the offending publican has coma to my knowledge.

In conclusion, 1 beg to thank the Board on behalf of the blacks that their wants were SO liberally and so abundantly snpplied, and you, Sir, for your prompt attention to the wants and concerns of the station, which were not a few during the year.

There has been no pulmonary disease amongst them.

After eight months’ detention in that institution, he returned to the station.

I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant,

C. W. KRAMER. Captain Page, Secretary R.P.A., Melbourne.

With reference to the mnnngement, condition, and progress of this station, I have to report as follows :-

The total number of blacks and half-castes belonging to this station is 110, 86 residing here throughout the year.

The state of health, as a whole, was good; but hooping-cough, which appeared as an epidemic during the winter, gave us a considerable amount of trouble and anxiety for a time; but I am thankful to say the Aborigines have now almost all recovered from it.

There was no marriage during the year. The condiict of the Aborigines during the year was satisfactory; and, although they did not work

with the same zeal as in former years, they were nevertheless constantly employed in station work. As the cattle we had were sold last year, and the sheep which replaced them arrived only very

recently, we had no station income, and all incidental expenses and wages for work done by the blacks had to be paid oiit of the wool-money from a few sheep which we had, and which were originally given to me by a friend of the Aborigines for their benefit.

Having now a flock of sheep on the reserve, I hope to he able to give a satisfactory account in another year with regard to station income and expenditure.

The number of children attending school was 16 boys and 12 girls: total, 28. The school was carried on under the supervision of the Mission until December 31st, 1885, when it

wag placed in the hands of the Education Department, and as the new teacher only arrived in July the classes were conducted very satisfactorily from January 1st to June 30th by an Aboriginal youth, David Mnflet. The present teacher, Mr. W. Dunstan, appears to be well fitted for his position, so that I have good hopes that the children will make good progress with their lessons.

The work done by the natives was as follows :-Excavating one large underground water-tank, capable of holding l( i ,OOO gallons; lining the ceilings of all the houses of the blacks, and of thc dormitory, with pine boards; repairing the mission house, school house, and teacher’s house; grubbing and fencing 6 acres of land for cultivation; cutting suckers and clearing dead timber off 100 acres; splitting posts and rails; mending and topping fences; ploughing, gardening, &c. Vegetables were not so plentifiil this year as last, owing to the dryness of the latter part of spring. The 5 acres of hay which were sown yielded t i very poor return, while the 5 acres of potatoes turned out better than we expected, owing to the heavy rnins W O had during the summer months.

I wish again to record that special thanks are due to the Hamilton Hospital Committee and their officers for the willingness with which the natives were received into their excellent institution, and for the care and attention bestowed upon them when there.

We had several distinguished visitors on the station diiring the year, all of whom tcstified, in the visitors’ book, of their pleasure and grntilication at seeing such a home for the natives, and the care bestowed upon then], as they found it the case at Condah.

I desire, on behalf of the Aborigines, to thank the Board, and their Inspector, for the liberal s u p p ] ~ of rations and clothing, which were all of good quality.
