SOUTHERN AFRICA. 
the Amaxosa Tribes, Kreli is the "Ukumkani," 
and to him, therefore, the whole of the 90,000 
Kaffirs of that tribe look as their king, and 
his war cry they obey. But yet, as regards 
the internal discipline, or interior economy of 
these, they are subdivided into three great sub- 
tribes ; the Amagelika, the Amagaika, and the 
Ama T'Slambie ; of which Kreli rules the Ama- 
gaika, Sandilli the Amagelika, and Umhalla the 
Ama T'Slambie. Each of these tribes num- 
bers 25,000 or 30,000 souls; and amongst 
these portions, the power of their own " Inkose 
Inkuli" is paramount; whilst both the people 
and the " Inkoses" own the superior sway and 
sovereignty of Kreli, as the " Ukumkani" or 
King. Thus, he is " Ukumkani" over 90,000, 
and " InJcose Inkuli" over 30,000. 
Again, the tribes of the " Inkuli" are re- 
divided into smaller ones, over each of which a 
petty chief or " InJcose" rules. As, for instance, 
in Sandilli' s Amagaika tribes, Tola, Anta, Bote- 
man, Kama, and Swiani, respectively govern 
their "kraals" or clans, each numbering, ac- 
cording to the importance of the "Inkose" from 
a hundred to a thousand men. So, again, in 
Umhalla' s Ama T'Slambie tribes, Pato, Cobus 
Congo, Tois, Delemma, and others, are captains 
of "kraals" or petty chiefs; each ruling over 
from a hundred to two thousand Kaffirs.
