Place: The Place field was previously recorded as being "Africa; West Africa", but the print is annotated as ‘Bambara’, which is now known as Bamanankan. This is a cultural group and language of predominantly Mali, but also Burkina Faso, Cote d’Ivorie, and Gambia. The Place field has been amended accordingly.
