Abstract
THE Gold Coast of West Africa and the Loango Coast of South-west Africa are regions of especial interest to the ethnologist, for in these he is not, as he is in the majority of African regions, dependent on such fragments of information as he can gather from books written by travellers, who, to him, seem deliberately, malignly determined to give as little of the sort of information an ethnologist wants as possible; and only too frequently give that little in a manner that arouses suspicion in the mind of a cautious student.
