Abstract
NOT the least remarkable feature in this excellent account of the Wabena of Tanganyika is the fact that it was in part inspired by the desire of the people themselves that an account of their traditional customs and tribal records should be embodied in some permanent form before it was too late. Hence not only is the book based on material, in the collection of which the authors had the co-operation of Wabena of all grades and standing, but also it actually incorporates a history of the people written by Chief Towegale Kiwanga.
