XIV. ORUNGO.

I return to the Sea-Coast North of the Eamma and find the Orungo, North of the Ogowé, in the neighbourhood of Cape Lopez. Koelle in his Polyglotta Africana gives a Vocabulary of the Orungo, which is unmistakeably identified. J. E. Wilson in his Preface to the Second Edition of the Pongwe Grammar minimizes the difference betwixt this Language and the Pongwe, and states that it is the same Language with only a few differing words, and a slight difference of pronunciation. Compiėgne indeed includes the tribe among those who speak the Pongwe Language. Du Chaillu mentions it distinctly as a separate Language. Until we have some Grammatical information, no decision can be arrived at. Koelle found the Vocabulary so different that he classed the Language in a totally different Linguistic Cluster.
