Extract

The paper which I have the honour of presenting to you to-night is similar in construction to those I have previously brought under your notice on the For and Madi Tribes.

The Waganda are very different from the tribes further north, and a description of them will I think aptly illustrate the very marked contrasts presented by the various Central African Tribes.
