^{Page 393 note 1} This Monetary Union currently includes Ivory Coast, Dahomey, Upper Volta, Mauritania, Niger, and Senegal. Its currency is the C.F.A. franc (Communauté financière africaine) which is freely convertible into French francs.

^{Page 393 note 2} Senegambia, including much of what is now Gambia and Senegal, was the name of a British colony which existed from 1765 to 1783.

^{Page 396 note 1} This figure is based on calculations of the Economic Adviser, since no detailed estimates are available.

^{Page 396 note 2} C.F.A. francs have been converted to sterling at the official rate of exchange of 696 to £I. The C.F.A. franc, however, is overvalued, and this should be borne in mind in comparing these figures.
