Excerpt from More Australian Legendary Tales I must begin the preface to a new series of Australian Legendary Tales by thanking the press and public for the, to the collector, gratifying reception they gave the first one. There are many persons who have individually expressed their interest in my work so kindly that I would like to name them here and publicly thank them, but some Of them are of such world-wide fame that to do so might seem a mere self-advertisement at their expense. Should this come under their notice, they will, I hope, understand my reticence, and accept my gratitude. The present series Of legends have all been collected by myself from the Blacks, as were the previous ones. But in this instance I had much help given to me by friends.
