Description:
A man described by Evans-Pritchard as an 'Anuak-Nuer' i.e.
of mixed parentage, casting a fishing net into a river, probably the Sobat River near the wood station also photographed on the same film.
Evans-Pritchard has presumably noted the youths origins since net fishing was not practised by the Nuer, preferring the harpoon.
