TRIBES OF THE SAHARA.

two great tribes — the Kailouees, which division 
includes the Kailouees proper, the Kaltadak, and 
the Kalfadai ; and, secondly, the Kilgris, including 
the Kilgris proper, the Iteesan, and the Ashraf. 
But, in questions of detail, numerous other names 
appear which it is difficult to arrange under any- 
proper head. The Kailouees are, I think, of genuine 
Targhee origin, although, as I have already men- 
tioned, with a mixture of the Soudan races. The 
Kaltadak and the Kalfadai' seem to be identical 
with the borderers who attacked us on our first 
entrance into this country. The Kilgris are lo- 
cated southward, beyond Aghadez, along the Sak- 
katou route, and even far into Soudan, where the 
influence of the Targhee races seems to be rapidly 
on the increase. 
According to some of the Tanelkum Sheikhs, 
the following are the names of the principal Targhee 
tribes scattered over the desert of Sahara, excluding 
the inhabitants of Aheer : — ■ 
1 . Ouraghen family of Shafou. 
2. Emanghasatan „ of Hateetah. 
3. Amana „ of Jabour. 
These are Ghat Tuaricks — Azghers. # 
4. Aheethanaran, the tribe of Janet. 
5. Hagar (Ahagar), pure Hagars and Maghatah, 
* The three tribes of Ghat are called Azgher, in contradistinction 
to the Hagar. A Tanelkum explained the meaning of this last word 
(which I have usually written Haghar) to mean "wandering" or 
" wanderers." The word is sometimes written Hogar.
