SUBDIVISIONS OF HOTTENTOTS. 139 
refused re-entrance into the Southern districts, 
by the Dutch, the Hottentot tribes passed out, 
as has been observed, towards the North- west, 
about the year 1760, and, dividing into three 
tribes, they located themselves as we now find 
them; Korunnas, Namaquas, and Bushmen. 
The Griqua tribes are, indirectly, of Hotten- 
tot extraction, being an intermixture of Dutch 
and Hottentot blood. They are also styled 
" bastards," of which appellation they are ex- 
tremely proud. 
Another bastard tribe, belonging to this fa- 
mily, are the Gonas, or Gonaquas, formed by 
the union of the Kaffir and Hottentot races. 
They assimilate, however, more to the Kaffirs ; 
although also resembling the Hottentot in phy- 
siognomy. % They adopt the Kaffir language, 
and being so few in numbers, and so like that

customs, they are considered, and treated, as 
bona fide Kaffirs.

specting this tribe, he mentioned that his first impression, on viewing 
them, shortly after his arrival in the country, was, that they strongly 
resembled the inhabitants of China; and, having named this to a 
person familiar with that country, his observation was, that they 
bore more resemblance to the natives of the islands in the Chinese 
seas, than to the actual residents on the mainland of the celestial 
empire.
