Until 1952, it was the only regularly published journal in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. Early on, the Journal published the ethnographic observations of British district officials, whose interest in social anthropology and ethnology was encouraged by their need to find out about the people that they administered. S. N. & R. also regularly published papers on linguistics, archaeology, agricultural practices, the navigability or rivers (and edibility of their fish), the histories of towns and places, big game hunting, sport and a miscellany of other topics. These papers were written by colonial officials, anthropologists, missionaries, doctors, and others (Wikipedia). Member of the P.B.F.A. NORTH AFRICA [Sudan].
