Comparing this vocabulary with that gathered by Muller [1857, 113 — 116] at Utanata (south-west 

 coast), it appears that both languages hâve many words in common, e. g. àwâmu cheek, mamè eye, mau 

 foot, irifiu knee, imiri shin (leg with Muller), titi tooth. Others are only slightly différent; thus Muller 

 gives : bow awuré, cocoa-nut uteri, house kami, javelin kareh, sago amati; back urimi, ear idni, hand 

 mareh, head nfiau, tongue mare; to laugh oku, to sleep ete, to weep makch.

 connexion was already noticed on the spot by Mr. DUMAS, who accompanied the expédition 

 and had formerly travelled along the said coast, but who remarked that some words were 

 used with a somewhat différent meaning.
