Only chiefs of whole Names or Clans are included, except certain special instances who, though not chiefs of a whole name, were or are for some reason (e.g. the Macdonald forfeiture) independent. Under decision (Campbell-Gray, 1950) that a bearer of a double or triple-barrelled surname cannot be held chief of a part of such, several others cannot be included in the list at present.
