good-looking, with small delicately formed hands and feet. It is 
of this tribe that my paper treats. I shall not touch upon the 
Wanyambo who live in Uddu and Karagwe, or the Wasoga who 
live to the east of the Mle, but it will be necessary to mention a 
small tribe, the Wahuma, who inhabit scattered villages throughout 
the whole of Uganda. They number between 40,000 and 50,000. 
They are probably descended from the original inhabitants of 
Abyssinia, and there is no doubt that the ancestors of the reigning 
family of Uganda were Wahuma. 
In order to give an idea of the form and size of the Waganda, I 
give the measurements of five men. The numbers correspond to 
Virchow’s Table (p. 701).
