the Yao before they came much in contact with European civihza- 

 tion. T. Cullen Young (1931) published a valuable volume on the 

 Tumbuka-Kamanga peoples. Mackenzie (1925) has made a 

 slight sketch of the Konde in Tanganyika, and Bruno Gutmann 

 (1928 and 1932) has studied the social structure and laws of the 

 Chagga, with special reference to education. His work is supple- 

 mented by that of Dundas (1924) and Schanz (1913). Among 

 other German authorities may be mentioned Blohm (1931 and 

 1933) on the Nyamwezo, Dempwolff (191 6) on the Sandawe, 

 Glaus (191 1 ) on the Gogo, and Karasek (191 1-24) on the Sham- 

 bala. A recent work by A. T. and G. M. Culwick (1935) on the 

 Bena is notable. Hobley (191 o) and Lindblom (1920) have des- 

 cribed the Kamba in Kenya; the former has also discussed the 

 Kikuyu magical beliefs. Major G. St. J. Orde Browne (1925) has 

 given a general account of some minor tribes of the colony. 

 G. Gordon Brown held a Rockefeller Fellowship for work among 

 the Hehe of Tanganyika, and, in collaboration with Mr. Hutt, an 

 administrative officer, has concentrated on the relationship be- 

 tween anthropology and administration; their joint book (1935) 

 provides an admirable picture of this subject. Two Fellows of the 

 Institute of African Languages and Cultures have recently been 

 at work in the same general cultural area: Dr. Wagner, among the 

 Maragoli, a tribe of the Bantu in Kenya, and Dr. Oberg among 

 the Nkole. 



The tribes living in the lake region of Uganda and Ruanda were 

 included with the Bushongo in Torday's division 'Bantu under 

 Alien Rulers'. Canon J. Roscoe collected a mass of data on the 

 material culture and political organization of several of these 

 tribes. His most important work is that on the Baganda (1911). 

 Dr. Lucy Mair (1934) has stressed particularly the changes among 

 the Baganda resulting from European influences. 



The tribes inhabiting the area from the Upper Nile to Tangan- 

 yika, classified by Torday as Nilo-Hamites, have been dealt with 

 by Seligman (1932), who described the northern members, and by 

 A. C. Hollis, who wrote on the Masai ( 1 905) and the Nandi ( 1 909) . 

 A German work on the Masai is that by M. Merker (1910). An 

 account of the Suk was given by Mervyn Beech ( 1 91 1 ) • More infor- 

 aiiaUpn is avail.able on the Nilotic tribes in works by Hofmayr
