_a._ The Susu; whose language is spoken from the River Pongos to Sierra Leone. _b._ The Timmani. _c._ The Bullom--each in contact with that settlement. _d._ The Vey--the written language already noticed. _e._ The Mendi--conterminous with the Vey. _f._ The Kissi--like the last two, spoken in the country behind Cape Mount, and on the boundaries of Liberia. South of the Gambia and north of the Pongos, the Mandingo tongues, though spoken in the interior, do not reach the coast. On the contrary, they encircle the populations on the mouths of the Cacheo, Rio Grande, and Nun--and truly barbarous populations these are. Of these the most northern are-- 6. _The Felúp_ (Feloops)--between the Gambia and Cacheo. 7. _The Papel_--south of the Cacheo. 8. _The Balantes_--south of the Papel. 9. _The Bagnon_--on the Lower Cacheo. 10. _The Bissago_--islanders off the Cacheo. 11. _Nalú_ (_Naloos_)--on the Lower Nun. 12. _Sapi_--_ibid_. After these come the Susu, &c.; down to the tribes about Cape Mount and Cape Mesurado. Between Cape Mesurado and Cape Palmas come-- 13. _The Krumen._ Next to them-- 14. _The Quaquas_, of the Ivory Coast; speaking different Avekvom dialects. Somewhere hereabouts come the-- 15, 16, 17. Kanga, Mangree, and Gien; three undetermined vocabularies of the "Mithridates." Then-- 18, 19, 20. The Fanti, Gha, and Adampi (?) of the Gold Coast. We now approach the great marts-- 21, 22. Benin and Dahomey; and--almost equal in infamous notoriety--the countries of the Delta, of the Niger, or of the-- 23, 24, 25. Ibu, Bonny, and Efik (Old Calabar) Africans; at the back of which lie-- 26, 27. Yarriba, and the Nufi country. In Fernando Po the population is-- 28. Ediya. About the Bimbia river and mountain-- 29. Isubu. 30, 31, 32. The _Banaka_ (or _Batanga_), the _Panwi_, and the _Mpoongwe_ take us from the Gaboon to Loango; forming a transition from the true Negroes to the Kaffres. 33, 34, 35, 36. _Loango_, _Congo_, _Angola_, and _Benguela_--the Kaffre type, both in form and language, is now more closely approached. Below Benguela there has been little or no exportation. FOOTNOTES: [12] "Journal of the Geographical Society," 1850. [13] "United Service Magazine," Dec., 1850.
