Note 24 — D.

Tribal organisation. 2. The Mirzapur Dhângars say that the Munda Kols, the Khariyas24 of Chota Nâgpur, the Guriyas, Dhângars and Urâin or Orâon are all endogamous divisions of the same race. They name eight exogamous septs, most or all of which are certainly of totemistic origin. Thus Ilha is said to mean a kind of fish which this sept does not eat: Kajur is the name of a jungle herb which members of this sub-division do not use: Tirik, which is possibly the same as the Tirki or bull sept of the Orâons. In Chota Nâgpur members of this sept cannot touch any cattle after their eyes open.25 On the other hand, Colonel Dalton describes the Tirki sub-division as prohibited from eating young mice (tirki).26
