It would be described best perhaps (in a somewhat contradictory for- mula) as a democratic feudalism. In each village there is a stool, which is the throne of the chief. The right to occupy the stool Ja vested in perpetuity in the mem- bere of one family, and when a vacancy occurs the people elect any member of the privileged family as a successor. They may elect the eldest member; they may elect the youngest.

He is answer- able to the council of chiefs, which he consults on all matter of im portance; he can be deposed by the
