* The third numeral order of the Mandingoes, called Jcemm^, and 
which answers to a hundred, is composed of only eight tens ; so that 
our hundred is equal to their hundred and twenty, which they express 
by JcemmS ni mouga (a hundred and twenty). Their hundred being only 
eighty, their thousand is equal to eight of our hundreds.
