and not St. Paul's, is thus made the Cape or western Hmit of the 
Bight, the eastern side of which is called the Bight of Benin, I 
regret, amongst other disadvantages, that of not having the oppor- 
tunity to consult the chart of Mr. Demayne (the master of H. M. S. 
Amelia) which is said to be more accurate than any other.* 
Quitta is included in an independent state of Kerrapay, called 
Agwoona, which extends thence along the coast to the Volta ; the 
towns from that river to Quitta are Attoko, Terrobee, Footee, 
Agwoona, Whiee, and Tegbay. Agwoona lays half a inile from 
the shore, and about 15 miles from the Volta. The inhabitants of 
all the other towns are obhged by the law to bury their dead in 
Agwoona, the capital ; the caboceer of which is supreme over the 
others, but not absolute. Between Quitta and Popo, lay the 
Kerrapay towns Egbiffeemee, to which several of the Quittas have 
retired, Edjenowah, Ooogloobooe, and Afflou or Afflahoo, a little 
way from the beach. These towns are governed by caboceers, inde- 
pendent of each other, as well as of Agwoona; and in the last a 
mixture of Adampe and Kerrapay is spoken, accounted for by the 
emigration of a large body of the former people. Another inde- 
pendent state of Kerrapay is Tettaytokoo, 2 journies behind Pppo ; 
the King is said to be despotic, and the capital composed of circular 
houses. There is also another smaller interior state, governed by a

down the Forts and other points according to the observations quoted in Norrie, (4th 
edition, 1816,) which agree so very nearly with those of the Commissioners in the two 
instances cited, that I conclude he has been allowed to copy the whole series from their 
papers, which I believe have never been published. Even in Dr. Mackay's valuaHe 
publication. Cape Coast Castle is laid P 23' too much to the eastward. I presume too 
that the observations made by H. M. S. Ameha, are part of those quoted by Norrie, 
although the Argo's observations of the longitude of Quitta and Whydah are not con- 
firmed. I observe a small error which makes 1' 28" N. and 7' 24" E. the difference 
between Kormantine and Annamaboe, the former is only 5 miles eastward of the latter.
