- The Dulbahante, as far as I have seen them, are a fine martial race of men, second to none of the branches of Darrood either in conduct or appearance, and they are described as being courteous and hospitable to the stranger who visits them. They have generally two Sultans, or Garaads, the elder of whom, Mahomed Ali Harrin, governs the eastern limits of the province; whilst his colleague, Ali Garaad, guards the N. W. frontier from the thieving Haber-tel- Jahleh in the neighbourhood of Kurrum and from the Agahdur family of Noh Amor. (en)

- On the 12th about 180 men of the Habr Toljala came in from the northward to take chaise of our camels, and on the 14th I was able to send off over 1,800, of which I was very glad to get rid. (en)
- Swayne was anxious to punish the sections of the Mahmud Gerad Dolbahanta who had joined the Mullah, and raided our Habr Toljaala tribes. (en)
- we started at 2 a.m. from Oak, and halted about 1 1 a.m. at a deep nullah ... On the evening of the 29th Major Beynon, with the Mounted Infantry and the Camel Corps, had gone off in a north-easterly direction to surprise some Karias of the Jama Siad tribe, who were powerful supporters of the Mullah ... surprised these Karias at dawn on the 30th, capturing about 3,500 camels and a fair number of cattle, together with a vast quantity of sheep (en)
