Présentation de l'éditeur
On my return toE astA frica in January, 1905,1 determined to pursue my studies in the languages, folk-lore, and customs of those tribes inhabiting our Protectorate that form an offshoot of theN ilotic stock, and to write an account of theN andi-L umbwa group on somewhat similar lines to those followed in my book on theM asai.1 But little is known -of theN andi and allied tribes, notwithstanding the fact that we have administered some of their territories for a decade or more, and the following books and papers are, so far as I am aware, all that have been published on the language and customs of these people. 1. Notes on theE thnology of tribes met toith during progress of the Juba Expedition, by Lt.-C ol. (now General Sir) J. R. L. Macdonald (J ournal of the Anthropological Institute for Great Britain and I reland, 1899). 2. Eastern Uganda, by C. W. Hobley (L ondon, 1902). 3. The Uganda Protectorate, byS ir H. H. Johnston, G.C.M.G., KGB. (L ondon, 1902). 4. Anthropological Studies inK avirondo and Nandi, by GW .H obley (J ournal of the Anthropological Institute for Great Britain and I reland, 1903). 5. The East Africa Protectorate, byS ir GE liot, K.C.M.G., C.B. (L ondon, 1905). I have consulted these works freely, and wherever my account differs from them it may be assumed that I have been unable to obtain confirmation of the earlier reports. My own account, which has been written during my leisure hours miles away from Nandi, is far from exhaustive, and an anthropologist will everywhere feel that the evidence obtained might well be supplemented by further 1T heM asai, their Language andF olk-L ore (O xford, 1905).
