NOTES

C O R R E C T I ON

In  the  cyclostyle  edition  of  the  Salaga  papers,  owing  to a mistake

in  typing,  part  of  an account  of  Salaga  in  1890,  by  Kling,  has been
printed  as if  it  was the  continuation  of von  Francois1 account  of  Salaga
in  1889. 
In  the  section  German Official  Travellers,  the  last  paragraph
of  SAL/35/1,  with  the  following  pages SAL/35/2  and 3,  should be
re-numbered as SAL/67/2  to 4.  The source  for  SAL/67  is:  Verhandlungen
der  Gesellschaft  fur  Erdekunde,  Berlin  1890.  This paper should  follow
SAL/15/1,  another  account  of  the  same  journey.

In my paper on the  background  of  the  Salaga Civil  War  In the last

Research  Review,  the  date  suggested for  the  death of  Abdulrahman was
based on  the  reading  of  this  passage as If  it  was part- of  von  Francois1
In fact  the gun was given  to Abdulrahman  by  Kling  In
account  of  1889. 
1890 (von  Francois had given  a gun  to  the  Sultan  In the  previous year).
In  1890 Abdulrahman  was an old  man,  snuffling  heavily.  Bambanga must
therefore  have  succeeded  to  the  skin after  this visit,  though probably not
very  long  after.
