(1925), Westermann (191 2) and Huffman (1931), while Driberg 

 (1923) made a valuable study of the Lango. 



The 'Equatorial hybrid tribes' include the Negroes inhabiting 

 that part of the continent bounded by the Nile-Congo watershed 

 on the east and the Gulf of Guinea on the west. Dr. Evans-Prit- 

 chard's work on magic among the Azande (1937) is an exhaustive 

 study of an aspect of native culture which is important in all areas. 

 This people has also been described by Galonne-Beaufaict (192 1). 

 Little is known of the Gabon and Cameroon tribes; the most com- 

 prehensive work yet published is that on the Fang by Tessmann 

 (191 3) and he has also given an account of the Baja (1934). 



Included in Torday's Central Sudanic section are the tribes of 

 Nigeria and part of French West Africa. For the Southern Pro- 

 vinces Talbot's survey (1926), made at the time of the 1921 census, 

 is important, while C. K. Meek has performed a similar service for 

 the Northern Provinces (1925). In addition, he has published an 

 ethnographical survey of the Jukun-speaking peoples of Nigeria 

 (1931a) and a series of reports on more than fifty non-Moslem 

 tribes (1931b), which illustrate some of the special administrative 

 problems which have to be faced. R. C. Abraham (1933) and 

 R. M. Downes (1933) published work based on reorganization 

 inquiries among the Tiv people. Dr. Nadel (1935a, 1935b, and 

 1937)3 holding a Fellowship from the International Institute of 

 African Languages and Cultures, studied the Nupe tribe in the 

 Northern Territories of Nigeria during 1935 and 1936. He was 

 concerned specially with systems of chieftainship and has been 

 able to assist the administration with regard to changes in indirect 

 rule. His results are not yet fully published. Miss M. M. Green 

 and Mrs. S. Leith-Ross, both working as Leverhulme Trust Fel- 

 lows during 1934-5 and 1936-7 among the Ibo people of south- 

 east Nigeria, made respectively intensive and extensive studies. 

 The former's results are not yet published; the latter's have been 

 shown in Africa and in a volume on Ibo woman (1939). It should 

 be added that Miss M. F. Perham's studies in various parts of 

 Africa on native administration and in particular her detailed 

 work on Nigeria (1937) have done much to illustrate the place of 

 social anthropology in administration.
