''The Somali have a tradition that their ancestors emigrated from the Arabian province of Hadramaut to Med, on the African coast; from which place their descendants gradually spread over the country they now occupy, having driven out the original Galla inhabitants.
They ascribe the origin of the present tribes to three persons: Isacc, Tir, and Tarood. Isacc they consider to be the progenitor of the three principal tribes-the Habr gir Hajis, Habr Awul, and Habr tul Jaitah.
According to this tradition, Tarood was originally from Africa; and they consider that the tribes descended from him are of Negro origin.
These are the Majertein, Wur Sungulli, Dhol Bahanta, and Wogadin.
The Somali tribes differ much in feature and general appearance, some being much lighter in colour than others; but all speak the same language, and differ but slightly in manners and customs.
Each tribe is quite independent, and is governed by its own sultan or girad, whose authority is little more than nominal.
Feuds constantly occur between the various tribes; and, being a very warlike, independent race, bloody fights often occur.''
