Description:
Looking towards a group of mainly women and youths gathered on the riverbank from the deck of a barge steamer.
Although the exact location is uncertain, Evans-Pritchard mentions that he observed the Baro Anuak living almost wholly on the southern, Ethiopian bank, only from the deck of a steamer, stopping at villages briefly only twice.
He probably traversed it as far as Gambela judging by the landscape of winding channels and plains.

Evans-Pritchard notes that 'those [villages] along the Baro were observed only from the deck of a steamer, except for a few minutes landing at two of them.' On page 7 he notes that 'Along the Baro their villages do not commence till about the 34th parallel and from there eastwards its right bank may be taken as their northern boundary, though there are three small Anuak communities on the Jokau about 22 miles from its junction with the Baro.'
