When I was with the aboriginals (sic) on the banks of the Murrumbidgee … the chief woman of the tribe … tried to teach me to count in the native way. She began as she would with her own children, showing me two fingers, two sticks laid together, two eyes, two ears, two elbows, two feet. ... Later she used tiny sticks, fragments of bark, and little clods of earth. This was to show that through differing shapes or differing places two remained two; and it was also to make the eye quick in perception.
