East Horn ²³ and possibly from Ancient Egypt.24 The Hamites are of Caucasoid stem,
and distinct Caucasoid elements may be noted in Watutsi physiognomy. The great
physical height, c. 7 feet, of the Watutsi allies them with several other tall people,
notably the Bahima of Uganda (who are also Galla descendents).

Culture area, language, and race may be seen to form independent analytic categories
especially with regard to the Watutsi. These people belong to the cattle complex (pastor-
al activities are their most significant "means of livelihood" ²⁵ ), their language is
Bantu, ²⁶ and racially they are of the Hamitic type. Similarly, the Mangbetu of the
north Belgian Congo are an agricultural people, speak a Sudanic language, and belong
to the Negro type. The categorical "maps" thus seem to overlap, while retaining inde-
pendent identities, and this circumstance directs our attention to the possible shape
and size of a musical "map" (i.e., musical-style map) and the kind of alignment it
would have with the maps of culture area, language, and race. It is hoped that the
present study will contribute to the drawing up of such a map -- a map that can only
be fully completed when every tribal culture within its confines has been musically
explored.
