Compact disc.

Transcriber's note: Dubbed from a set of nine single sided 78rpm BBC discs (record nos. F 373-382). The numbers 1-10 are unlikely to be the BBC libary numbers, rather the numbers in this set. They are also numbered 417-426 on the labels. All information on the disc labels is handwritten. The record labels don't state what country the recordings were made in, but the Balharith and Hammam are (Saudi) Arabian tribes, and Shabwa (Shabwah) is in Yemen.
