CHAPTER VI.
THE BAKKARA. (NOMADIC TRIBES. ) THERE are several large and small tribes of this nomadic people in the country who have no fixed places of residence, but change them frequently in the same year. They inhabit the districts situated towards the south, south-east, and south-west of Lobeid. Each tribe, whether large or small, is governed by its sheikh, who may be regarded almost as an absolute monarch ; as all the rest of the tribe, with the exception of a few under- sheikhs, are totall...y dependent upon him, and may, indeed, be considered as his serfs. They pay tri- bute to Kordofan, consisting of about twelve thou- sand oxen, a little gold, and a few slaves ; but the contribution must generally be collected by force. They are not reckoned among the other inhabitants of the five districts ; but when the time for levying the tribute arrives, they are hunted out, tribe by tribe, and plundered. They do not cultivate agri- culture, excepting on the lake of Arrat, where a little rice, of an inferior quality, is grown.
