ABSTRACT
Scholarship Fund; this was supplemented by an award for travelling and other expenses in connection with the Ethnographic Survey obtained through the International African Institute from the Department of Technical Co-operation (now the Ministiy of Overseas Development) in London. To all these bodies I am grateful, as I am grateful also to a multitude of officials, missionaries and villagers of Tanganyika and Northern Rhodesia (now respectively Tanzania and Zambia) without whose help, and, very often, warm hospitality, the present modest work could never have been completed.
