The Uganda protectorate; an attempt to give some description of the physical geography, botany, zoology, anthropology, languages and history of the territories under British protection in East Central Africa, between the Congo Free State and the Rift Valley and between the first degree of south latitude and the fifth degree of north latitude. African languages; Natural history; Ethnology. 764 NILOTIC NEGROES in their origin may have had some connection â with the Bantu group. Then downfromthe north came the ancestors of the Nile Negroes, driven south possibly by the first determined Hamite invasion of the Egyptian Sudan and Abyssinia. The Nile Negroes swept due south, and in places were checked and pro- foundly modified by the thinner stream of Hamitic immigrants (ot the Gala stock) who were continually entering Negro Nileland from the north-east. Some fusion in varying degrees be- tween the Hamite and the Nile Negro created the Masai and Suk types, and temporary successes of this powerful blend carried the modified Nile languages (which we know now as the Masai group) westwards as far as the Bari country (where the language became tinged with West African phonology), and south- wards deep into what is now German East Africa. In the middle of Negro Nileland a large section of Bantu Negroes was stranded, and adopted a dialect of this Masai group (I refer to the Karamojo). Elsewhere, however, the constant stream of Nilotic Negroes following one another in waves of immigration carried this Negro type and its language actually to the north-west coast of Lake Albert (the Alura) and to the north-east coast of the "\^ictoria Nyanza (the Ja-luo). The Ja-luo fragment of the great Nilotic invasion overlapped. 411. A BAKI KEGRO FROM BEDDEN, WHITE NILE.
