* This paper is based on lectures given at the University of Madrid on 29th March, and at the Sorbonne on 3rd May, 1957. (1) Digest of information and elements of a bibliography in L. Massignon, Annuaire du monde musulman, 4th ed. (1954), Paris, 1955, 303-340; A. Gouilly, L'Islam dans l'Afrique Occidenlale Francaise, Paris, 1952; L'Islam en Afrique noire francaise, La Documentation Fran;aise, Notes et itudes Documentaires, No. 1152, Paris, 1949 (Sbrie France d'Outre-Mer, LIV). Of the numerous regional studies by P. Marty, his monograph on L'lslam et les tribus dans la Colonie du Niger (ex-Zinder), in Revue des Etudes Islamiques, 1930, 333-432, 1931, 139-240, touches the subject of this paper most closely. (2) E.g. C. K. Meek, The Northern Tribes of Nigeria, 2 vols., London, 1925; M. Perham, Native Administration in Nigeria, London, 1937; S. F. Nadel, A Black Byzantium, London, 1942; C. D. Forde and R. Scott, The Native Economies of Nigeria, London, 1946. (3) The monograph of J. Greenberg, The Influence of Islam on a Sudanese Religion, New York (1946), (Monographs of the American Ethnological Society, X), is only incidentally concerned with Islam as such (pp. 1-11: Contacts of Kano with Mohammedan culture; pp. 64-68: The Malams and the 'fsk6ki cult among Moslem Hausa), and the work of Nadel, Nupe Religion, London, 1954, concentrates on the indigenous form of worship and treats Islam in Nupe as an intrusion (pp. 232-258: Islam in Nupe).
