Note 89 — THE STRANGE ADVENTURES OF ANDREW BATTELL OF LEIGH IN ESSEX, SENT BY THE PORTUGALS PRISONER TO ANGOLA, WHO LIVED THERE, AND IN THE ADJOINING REGIONS, NEAR EIGHTEEN YEARS.

The name Calandola is by no means rare. A Calandula Muanji resided in 1884, eight miles to the north-east of Malanje (Carvalho, Viagens, vol. i, p. 443); another resided, formerly, near Ambaca (ib., p. 230); and a third on the Lucala, south of Duque de Bragança, was visited by Capello and Ivens (Benguella, vol. ii, p. 45). A Jaga Calandula accompanied Joāo Soares de Almeida on his disastrous expedition to Sonyo (Cat. dos Gov., p. 390). Either of these may have been a descendant of Battell’s Calandula.
