[FN#9] Everywhere on the lower river “hard dollars” are highly valued.  The Spanish, formerly the favourite, and always worth 4s. 2d., command only a five-franc piece at Le Plateau; moreover, the “peseta,” like the shilling, is taken as a franc.

[FN#17] M. du Chaillu’s description of the animal is excellent (p. 282), and the people at once recognized the cut.

[FN#18] I did not see the Iboko, which M. du Chaillu (chap, xvi.) calls the “boco;” but, from the native description, I determined it to be the tsetse.  He names the sandfly (chap, xvi.) “igoo-gouai.”  His “ibolai” or “mangrove fly” is “owole” in the singular, and “iwole” in the plural.  The wasp, which he terms “eloway,” is known to the Mpongwe people as “ewogoni.”
