Upon the whole it is not safe, in the present state of our 
knowledge, to place any of the above-mentioned languages with 
any specific accuracy. That they have miscellaneous affinities 
is undoubted. These particular affinities have yet to be deter- 
mined. It may also be added that the Edeeyah and Bimbia are 
more alike than the Kru and Edeeyah, or the Kru and Bimbia, 
Upper Soiithwick Street^ 
January 21, 1848. 
It is unfortunate that the Cameroons vocabulary, to which 
Dr. Latham had access, when comparing that language with the 
Bimbia, should have been so very scanty. The merest glance 
at the arranged vocabularies of the several languages now given, 
shews the evident affinity between the Dualla and Bimbia : take 
the following :

and numerous others. 
The dialect of the people of the Amboise 
Islands, is a subdivision of the Dualla. 
We subjoin a few 
words in which there is an approximation of the Edeeyah, 
Dualla, and Bimbia.
