The numbers refer to the mephato name-lists adjoined. Wben letters 
of the regiment name are bracketed (as sometimes omitted), the bracketed 
numbers and meanings omit them. 
In the lists the small letter denoting each successive chief of a tribe is 
suffixed to the name of his own regiment, and prefixed to that of the first 
regiment indicated in his reign. 
I shall be specially grateful for further information and lists from the 
following tribes : — baTauana of Ngami, bagaMotlhware, bagaMananwa, 
baKwenaba-Kubung, and baFokeng, baPhalane, etc. ; baPhiring, baTaung 
of Rustenburg, baNtwane, baNareng, baPo, baTlako and baModjadji and 
baMamabolo, and from the Kaffir and Rhodesian tribes.
