The Natural History of the Varieties of Man

by R. G. Latham

Locality.—Fazoglo, or Fazoel, south of Sennaar.

Language.—Peculiar, but with miscellaneous affinities.

THE DALLAS.

Locality.—The Tacazze; called by Salt, the Shangalla (Shankali) of the Tacazze.

Language.—Peculiar, but with miscellaneous affinities.

THE DOBA.

I presume that these are the Dar-Mitchegan Shangallas of Salt, and the Agaumider Shankalas of Beka. If so, they are occupants of the interior of Abyssinia, and conterminous with the Agows of that country; their language being peculiar, but with miscellaneous affinities.

And now follow two sections which I place amongst the Negroes provisionally; the first because its characteristics, although pretty well known, are aberrant; the second, because our information concerning them is preeminently imperfect.

They are separated from one another by a large area, one being north-west, the other south-east of Darfúr and Kordofan, and have little in common except the uncertainty of their position.
