At [[Zeila]], Bia-Kabôba, Dialdésse, and [[Harar]], I had the opportunity to observe [[Yibir|Jibêr]], [[Tumaal|Tomâl]], and Midgän individuals in particular, and although I must confess that much larger and more extensive material is required to study this question than is available to me in this respect, I must nevertheless confess that the representatives of the Pariah races seemed to me to be completely different from the Somâl proper, not only socially but also physically.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Paulitschke |first1=Philipp |title=Beiträge zur Ethnographie und Anthropologie der Somâl, Galla und Hararî |date=1888 |publisher=E.

Also from the lighter skin color, which I had the opportunity to observe on several Midgän, I believe I can deduce their Galla origin. Among the Somäl tribes of the Ogaden, the Midgän are said to be present in large numbers and represent small individuals in comparison to the Somâl. Among the [[ |
