⁵ Different descriptions of thieves. [The Moghias are settled principally in E. Mewār ; if not identical with, they are closely allied to, the Bāori (Luard, *Ethnographic Survey, Central India*, App. V. 17 ff.). Gen. C. Hervey (*Some Records of Crime*, i. 386 ff.) makes frequent references to dacoities committed by them from their headquarters, Nīmach. The Bāori or Bāwariya are a notorious criminal tribe (Rose, *Glossary*, ii. 70 ff. ; M. Kennedy, *Notes on Criminal Classes in Bombay Presidency*, 173 ff., 198 ff.). The Thori in Mārwār claim Rājput origin, and are connected with the Aheri, or nomad hunters (*Census Report, Mārwār*, 1891, ii. 194). According to Rose (*op. cit.* iii. 466) those in the Panjāb are rather vagrants than actual criminals.]
