(k) BENI HUSAYN

XX The Beni Husayn are divided between Wadai and Darfiir. They are only a small tribe, and those in Darfur camp in the rainy

season west-south-west of el Fasher between Gebel Kussa and

Marra, and in the summer farther south. Until moved by 'Ali Dinar some ten years ago they were mostly north of Kulkul.

AwLAD Sultan

"\ Awlad Zayd ] El Asad „ Shaloli J „ HammadIa I

There is a section of Kababish in northern Kordofan who are

also called Bashir and are probably by origin a branch of the Darfur

tribe.

(m) SALAmAT, beni RASHID AND ZIUD

XXII Of the Salamat, Beni Rashid (or Row^ashda) and Ziud little

will be said since they do not inhabit Kordofan or Darfur except in

negligible numbers, and are then incorporated in other tribes^.

SalAmAt. The Salamat^ are one of the largest tribes in Africa and inhabit Bornu, the Chad district, Bakirmi and southern Wadai. They were also at one time fairly numerous in Darfur, but were dis-

persed and driven westwards. The western branch of the tribe is

darker than the eastern and is included in the general term "Shoa."

All alike are Bakkara, though they also own a certain number of

sheep.

Their two main divisions are the 'fsiA and the Awlad Musa^, but
