- Leaves: 17; Pages: 32; Measurements: 27cm x 20cm; Dates ca. 1902-1912; Script: Akauku Nyiet; Condition: Brittle and decomposing paper; edges torn throughout; Comments: Acquired from Nji Mapon, heir of Mapon, daughter of King Njoya. The place and year of this census are not explicit. The number of people counted is about 5000. The script style here was in general usage from about 1902-1912. Given the size of the locality in the early twentieth century, it is probable that this was Foumban, home of Mapon.
