The Natural History of the Varieties of Man

by R. G. Latham

I am far from being sure that the Grebo is not a section of the Mandingo class.

THE AVEKVOM.

Synonym.—Quaqua.

Locality.—Ivory Coast.

Conterminous with the Grebo tribes, west, the Fantí, east, and probably, certain Mandingo tribes of the Sokko section, inland.

Dialects.—1. Frisco. 2. Bassam. 3. Asini. 4. Apollonia.[172]

Religion and appearance.—Pagan Negroes.

We now pass over the Fantí, Whidah, and Benin areas (already considered) to the typical Negroes of the Delta of the Niger.

BONNY.

Locality.—The river Bonny or New Calabar.
