4. The graziers, properly so called, are those of Graaf Rey- 
net and other distant parts of the colony. These are a class 
of men, of all the rest, the least advanced in civilization. 
Many of them, towards the borders of the settlement, are 
perfect Nomades, wander about from place to place without 
any fixed habitation, and live in straw-huts similar to those 
of the Hottentots. Those who are fixed to one or two places 
are little better with regard to the hovels in which they live. 
These have seldom more than two apartments, and fre- 
quently only one, in which the parents with six or eight 
children and the house Hottentots all sleep ; their bedding 
consists generally of skins. Their hovels are variously con- 
structed, sometimes the walls being mud or clay baked in 
the sun, sometimes sods and poles, and fre(}uently a sort of 
wattling plaistered over with a mixture of earth and cow- 
dung, both within and without ; and they are rudely covered 
with a thatch of reeds that is rareh^ water-proof.
