The above three species of _Coluber_ are decidedly new, as well as
the _Acontias_; the latter is more particularly interesting, since
it encreases the species of a very limited genus.

The only specimen was too mutilated to enable me to make out its

Of this class you found two species in Fantee; a _Scolopendra_, and
a gigantic _Julus_; neither of which are in a sufficiently good
state to enable me to make out whether they be described or not.

This species, as well as its congeners, is an object of

APPENDIX. No. VI.
* * * * *
I will now submit the numerals of 31 nations, which, with the exception
of three, the Fantee, the Accra, and the Bornoo, (and those but
imperfectly,) have never been reported before. I will arrange them
according to their geographical approximation, remarking any apparent
affinity which occurs to me, in notes. I shall place the Inta first,
because it is the most remote, inland, which can be assimilated to the
Fantee, Ahanta, Aöwin, and Amanaheä; and may, probably, from that
circumstance, be the root of these languages; as it has been shewn, in
the history, that the nations of the water side have been gradually
pressed down, or have emigrated from the interior, and it is
consequently to be expected that the etymology of the names of these
countries are not to be found in the languages of the people who _now_
inhabit them, but more probably in the languages of their southern
neighbours. Thus,
_Inta_ is likely to be derived from the _Booroom_ word _inta_, _water_,
as it has been noticed as an alluvial country.
_Yngwa_, a northern province of Dagwumba, from the Ashantee _anggwa_,
_fat, rich_, or the Booroom, _yngia_, _a wood_.
_Soko_ from _Soko_, _one_, in the Badaggry (below Dahomy) as _Yahndi_
the capital of Dagwumba was so called from _yahndo_ the numeral _one_,
to indicate its pre-eminence.
_Assin_ from the Ashantee _Assoon_, an elephant. But this expectation is
not further supported in the two or three other probable etymologies
which occur to me, as _Takima_ from the Ashantee _takramma_, tongue.
_Akim_ (formerly the greatest trading country,) from the Booroom
_Akimmie_, cloth; _Booroom_ from _boora_, full, in that language.
It is curious how nearly the _word_ for _God_ in the Malemba,
_M’Poungoo_, approaches the native name, _Empoongwa_, of the country
Europeans call _Gaboon_. _Wonga_ is fear in the Malemba, and _Woonga-
woonga_ is the name of an uninhabited savannah of three days extent,
between Empoöngwa and Adjoomba.

(_a_) The words for the numeral one assimilate in the specimens 1, 2, 3,
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9: again, but distinctly, in 14, 12, 15, 16: also in 26,
25, 13: in 21, 18, 20, 19: in 27, 28, 29, (making apparently five
roots), but they remain solitary in 11, 17, 22, 23, 24 30 and 31. The
numeral one in 14 is not unlike the two in 8, 9, 2, 3, and the one in
12, would, with the prefix of y, be precisely the same as the two of 25.
Excepting _Kakee_, _one_, the Inkran numerals seem to have been adopted
as those of Adampë, for the convenience of trade and intercourse, but I
will add a few words, to show that the languages are radically
different:
_Adampë._ _Inkran._
House Aoosoo Wheay.
Fire [160]Odja Lla.
Man Ossa Noon.
Woman Ossĕ Yeo.
Victuals Odë Neeaynee.
Father Attay Tchay.
Mother Awoo Nneay.
(_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 the numerals _two_ and _five_ in most of these, and
_five_ 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 _five_ 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 substitution 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 different 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 Empoöngwa (31) which are
1000 miles distant. Four in Congo is _m’na_, in Empoöngwa, _nahee_.
_Sanu_, the Kaffer _four_, 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 Empoöngwa 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.
(_f_) _Six_ assimilates from 1 to 9, in 12 to 17 (14 excepted) in 20,
23, 24, in 17 and 22; but remains distinct in all the others. The Sanbal
of Oöngobai (30) approaches the Sambanoo of the Embomma.
(_g_) _Seven_ assimilates in 1 to 9; in 12, 13, 16, but in no others.
(_h_) _Eight_ assimilates in 2, 3, 6, 7; in 11 to 17, (14 excepted) all
of which, with 31, approximate 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.

[Footnote 159: _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 according to the
traditions of the natives) to commemorate the voyage of Hanno; Accra
being one of the five cities raised by him between the Soloe Promontory,
or Cape Bojador, and the River Lixus or Ouro.]
[Footnote 160: This word approximates to _ogha_, _ogiah_, and _egah_,
the words for _fire_ in the Booroom, Ashantee, and Fantee: but all the
other Adampë words I have ever heard, cannot be assimilated to those
which denote the same objects in any other African language.]
[Footnote 161: Where there is no word in the Fantee column, it is the
same as the Ashantee.]
[Footnote 162: I have before stated (Superstitions, p. 270.) that
_aggry_ is a generic name, probably exotic, of the derivation of which
the Negroes are wholly ignorant. It is remarkable that the Boorooms call
these beads _sikka koonkoorie_, and never use the common word for _bead_
(aboroo,) when they speak of them: this name imports their value
(_sikka_ being _gold_) and one would fancy something connected with
their locality, _Koonkoorie_ being a range of hills seven days northward
of Kong, (see p. 182.) but I never could obtain the least explanation on
this subject from the natives.]
[Footnote 163: They distinguish different times of the day, thus
Morning, or before 12. napa.
Mid-day, or 12. aweeabillee aweeabil emfass.
Afternoon, 4. ingubee noobwawss.
Evening, 6. adiasa adjasa eybeen.
Night noofa aniaberra.
]
[Footnote 164: This reminds me that I ought to have noticed, in the
Superstitions of Ashantee, that they believe the devil to be a wandering
evil spirit, occasionally entering into a human being, immediately to be
destroyed for the safety of mankind.]
[Footnote 165: It is curious that in both these radically distinct
languages, the verb _walk_ should assimilate so closely to the noun
_cow_.]
