+ In 1934-36 there were 5 Fonfuka tax-quarters, distinguished by name, the collectors being "Dum [? Dom], Mesum, Njitor, Furu- Mata and Diang", and Sawe and Mfat were combined for collection in 1936, too. Njito is shown as collector for 'Kikongko', presumably Kikangko, a ward of Fonfuka, and Mbuk, earlier left out, was added under Bia. The collector for Ifin was then given as 'Mann'.
