MISCELLANEOUS ACCOUNT OF CAFFRARIA. 
RELIGION— MARRIAGES— SICKNESS—HUNTING. 
Caffraria commences at the Great Fish Riveo 
which divides it from Albany in the Colony, and runs along 
the Indian Ocean, in a N.E. direction, to the River Bassee, 
which divides it from the Tambookie country. It does not 
extend more than seventy miles up the country, or to the 
west, at least at the south end of it, being separated from 
the Colony and Bushman country on that side by a chain of 
mountains. It abounds with mountains, woods, and water, 
and is far more populous than either the Bushman» Coranna, 
or Namacqua countries. The people also are taller, more ro- 
bust, and more industrious. Better shaped men I never saw« 
They are a warlike race, and many of them are greatly addicted 
to plundering. Like the Chinese, they consider all other peo- 
ple inferior to themselves, and suppose that Europeans wear 
clothes merely on account of having feeble and sickly 
bodies. 
They have scarcely any religion ; but some of them profess 
to believe that some great being came from above, and made 
the world, after which he returned, and cared no more about 
it. It is very probable that even this feeble ray of light was 
obtained by means of their intercourse with the Dutch boors 
during several ages. They consider man as on a level with 
the brutes with regard to the duration of his- being, so that 
when he is dead there is an end of his existence.
