In the highlands of the extreme north-west of Tanganyika, in West Lake Province, live the Hangaza, a Bantu-speaking people, some 55,000 in number, divided socially into the Tutsi ruling class, comprising about 5 per cent, of the population, and the Hutu; the Tutsi here are not an endogamous group, and because of intermarriage with the Hutu are not distinguishable in physical appearance. The economy is mixed, cash income being derived from growing Arabica coffee and from wages brought back from Uganda by migrant workers. Serving this people at Murgwanza is a maternity clinic staffed by qualified African nurses, which is part of a larger hospital with resident European senior medical and nursing staff. Records are kept for each maternity case, from which may be obtained the number of previous pregnancies, the number of previous un successful pregnancies (abortions and stillbirths), the number of children now living and who have died, the outcome of the present pregnancy, and the sex of the infant. These records covering the period January, 1952, to November, 1957, were analysed. A proportion of entries was incomplete and these were excluded. For about two-thirds of the remain ing entries, birth weight was also recorded
