3. Exogamous groups.

A large number of exogamous groups are also returned, either of a

titular or totemistic nature: such are Baghmar, a tiger-slayer; Ojhwa,

from Ojha, or sorcerer; Guru pahchan, one who knows his teacher;

Midoia, a guardian of boundaries, from _med_, a boundary or border;

Gidhwe, a vulture; Kolhe, or jackal; Gadhekhaya, a donkey-eater; and

Kasture, musk; a few names are from towns or villages, as Tumsare

from Tumsar, Nagpurkar from Nagpur; and a few from other castes as

Madgi, Bhoyar, Pindaria from Pindari, a freebooter; Gondia (Gond)

and Gondhali; and Kachhwaha, a sept of Rajputs.
