numerals seem to have been adopted as those of Adampe, for the convenience-t>f trade and 
intercourse, but I will add a few words, to show that the languages are radically different :

(b) The numeral two is the most general word, and may be assimilated in 2, 3, 8, 9, 4, 5, 
1, 6, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17. There is little difference between tlie numerals two and Jive in. 
most of these, and Jive in 15 and 16, precisely answers to two in 1 and 2. 
(c) Three may be assimilated in 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7> 8, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17- In 12, 13, 14, 
16, it approaches to the Congo and Mozambique tatoo and atatoo. 
{d) I have observed that in most African languages there is less distinction in the words for 
four and five, than between any other of the numerals ; and that frequently the word for Jive 
in one language, is identical with that for four in another, geographically remote. Four may 
be assimilated in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 6, 14, for the two latter deviate only in the substitu- 
tion of one liquid for another, which is as common in the languages of Africa as in those of 
America. The words for four in the above suite do not seem of a diflFerent root from those in 
12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 21, from which it only varies in 20 by the prefix of nabo. With the 
difference of a single letter, the same word for four is found in the Yngwa (13) and the 
Empoongwa (31) which are 1000 miles distant. Four in Congo is m'wa, inEmpoongwa, nahee. 
Sanu, the KafFer /owr, is approached in 18. 
(e) Five may be assimilated from 1 to 17, (11 excepted) one liquid being substituted for 
another in 14, an leer being prefixed in 13. It is remarkable too that we again identify this 
numeral in the Malemba, Embomma, and Empoongwa languages, by removing the prefixes t, 
to, and neh, from the words tanoo, toanoo, and nehanee. Below five, the numerals in the Inkran 
lose all identity with those of the languages with which it has been hitherto assimilated. 
(/) Six assimilates from 1 to 9^ in 12 to 17 (14 excepted) in 20, 23, 24, in I7 and 22 5 but. 
remains distinct in all the others. The Sanbal of Oongobai (30) approaches the Sambanoq of 
the Embomma. 
(g) Seven assimilates in 1 to 9 3 in 12, 13, 16, but in no others. 
(h) Eight assimilates in 2, 3, 6, 7 5 in 11 to 17. (14 excepted) all of which, with 31, ap- 
proximate to E'nana, the word for eight in the Malemba. 
(i) Ten assimilates in 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 12, in 4, 5, 6, in 17, 19, 25, 26, 29, in 13, 15, and in 
14, 20, 22, 23, 24. 
* This word approximates to ogha, ogiah, and egah, the words for Jire in the Booroom, 
Ashantee, and Fantee : but aU the other 7\dampe words I have ever heard, cannot be assimi- 
lated to those which denote the same objects in any other African language. 
t Inkran, an ant, is the native name of the country Europeans call Accra, which name was 
probably given by the Portuguese to their settlement there (the earliest they made accordmg
