E. Vansittart— Tribes, Clans, and Castes of Nepal. [No. 4, 
to belong to the Rana clan of the Magar tribe, the progeny is then 
called a Bhat Rana. The Matwala Khas does not wear the thread. He 
eats and drinks, and in every way assimilates himself with the Magars 
and Gurungs. He invariably claims to be a Magar. Among the Matwala 
Khas are to be found those who call themselves Bohra, Roka, Chohan, 
Jhanki, etc. These are easy to identify, but it is more difficult to find 
ont a Matwala who calls himself a Thapa. His strong Magar appear¬ 
ance, his not wearing the thread, and his eating and drinking freely 
with the real Magars, all tend to prove him to be what he almost 
invariably claims to be, viz., a real Magar. I have found men in the 
ranks who for years had served as, and been considered, Magars, but 
who really were Matwala Khas. Some very excellent recruits are ob¬ 
tained amongst the Matwala Khas, although the greater proportion are 
coarse-bred and undesirable.
