28 Supplement by Dr Latham. 



Niger Expedition (1841), where it occurs under the name of 

 Ako, Eyo, Yabri, and Yarriba. 



2. Douville's Nongo vocabulary. For the parts imme- 

 diately above Yebu (lat. 8°), taken by Douville at Bahia, from 

 a Nongo, or Nago slave, A.D. 1833. Memoires de la Soc. 

 Ethn., vol. xi., p. 145. 



3. Ako vocabulary. Specimens of African Languages by 

 Mrs Kilham. 



4. Raban's Eyo vocabulary : London, 1830, 1831, 1632 ; 

 collected at Sierra Leone. 



5. Clapperton's Yarriba vocabulary. 



6. Hio numerals in Bowdich's Ashantee. Hio is only an- 

 other form of Eyo. The Hio numerals are shewn by D'Ave- 

 zac to coincide with the Yarriba of Clapperton, and his own 

 Y^bou. 



7. 8, 9. The Yngwa, Mosee, and Kumsallahoo numerals of 

 Bowdich ; closely allied to each other, and to the Hio. 



10. Vocabulary of the Yarriba language; to which are pre- 

 fixed the grammatical elements of the Yarriba language. By 

 Samuel Crowther. London: 1843. This represents the lan- 

 guage of Oydh (Eyo, or Kakanda), in lat. 9°. The Ibakpah 

 and Ibollah are dialects of this. 



The modes of speech above mentioned may all be classed 

 under the generic name Yarribean ; and may be called dia- 

 lects of the Yarribean language. In the interior, the Yarri- 

 bean is conterminous with the Fellatah, Haussa, and Nufi 

 tongues. 



11. Benin. — For this kingdom our data are most scanty. 

 In all probability, the Benin and Yarribean languages are 

 mutually unintelligible. 



1. A few Benin words taken by D'Avezac from the mouth 

 of Ochi Fekotie. Mem. Soc. Ethn., p. 48. 



2. A short Benin vocabulary in Mrs Kilham' s specimens. 



3. A few Benin words in Mr Daniell's MS. 



III. The Eboe language. The Eboe Proper of the Rio 

 Formoso, Warree, Rio Esclavos, Brass-Town, and the Quorra, 

 seems to be conterminous with the Benin dialects.
