• Audio* description: The numbering of the reels is not uniform, the number of reels was determined by the input numbers. A total of 34 rolls have been recorded on 23 rolls, a handwritten record is available, then some rolls were recorded by Prof. Carl Meinhof. Detailed annotations and texts with translations are available. According to Marius Schneider, Diedrich Westermann was involved in the translations (cf. Marius Schneider 1943/44:1). Some transcriptions in Schneider 1943/44. Schneider's statements (1943/44) on this collection are obviously incorrect.

• Audio* description: The collection consists of 7 rolls. The recordings were made by Marius Schneider in Berlin-Schlachtensee for the Berlin phonogram archive. Accordingly, the recorded singer Bonifatius Foli, an Ewe man living in Berlin, was a former cook of the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg in Togo. Original texts with German translations are available. The translations were done by Diedrich Westermann. Some transcriptions in Schneider 1943/44.
