The analysis of bride-wealth among the Wahehe by Dr. Gordon Brown is of particular interest to us, as we are studying the life of a tribe akin to them, namely the Wabena of the Ulanga Valley, Tanganyika Territory. A survey of some aspects of the custom amongst the latter people will not, perhaps, be out of place, especially as their social organization displays some interesting features indicative of compromise and adjustment between mother-right and father-right. Their past and present practice may contribute somewhat to the study of the subject of bride-wealth in general
