In a recent article in this journal, Joseph Inikori sought to revise upwards estimates of the volume of the British slave trave in 1698-1807 published in 1989 by David Richardson. This paper questions the methodology underlying Inikori's new estimates of the trade and offers further evidence in support of Richardson's daim that his 1989 estimate represented probably an upper-bound figure for British slave shipments from the west coast of Africa in 1698-1807. The paper also seeks to move forward the debate on slave shipments by indicating the direction in which most recent estimates of the trade are going
