Note 2 — Chapter IV · AGRICULTURAL TRIBES.

This agrees with what we expected. The tribes belonging to the first group, the “hunting agriculturists” (Jägerbauern), as Dargun calls them, bear a strong resemblance to hunting tribes. Generally the men’s business is hunting and warfare, whereas the women have to till the soil. The division of labour between the sexes does not much differ here from that which exists in Australia, where the men hunt and the women gather fruits and dig roots. These tribes are also often nomadic: when the fruits of their fields are scarcely ripe, they reap them and remove to some other place2.
