shows vague Sudanese, but no Hamitic affinities, hence 

 is originally a Negro language ; Negrito : unknown ; 

 Bush. -Hot. : agglutinating with postfixes only, with gram- 

 matical gender and other remarkable features ; is a stock 

 language radically distinct from all others. 



Religion. Bantu : ancestor-worship mainly in the 

 east, spirit-worship mainly in the west, intermingling in 

 the centre, with witchcraft and gross superstitions every- 

 where; Negrito: unknown; Bush. -Hot. : incipient animism 

 and nature-worship, but the religious sentiment scarcely 

 developed. 



Culture. Bantu: much lower than the Negroid 



Sudanese, but higher than the true Negro, capacity for 



progress more evident than actual achievement ; Negrito

(pastoral}.

In ethnology the only intelligible definition of a Bantu is a 

 full-blood or a half-blood Negro of Bantu speech \; and, as special 

 anthropology takes no account of language, it follows that from 

 the physical standpoint no very hard and fast line can be drawn 

 between the northern Sudanese and southern Bantu groups, 

 considered as two ethnical units. But these units are made 

 up of endless details, and it is in the study of these details 

 that such physical differences as do exist are discovered and 

 explained.
