Sorry it took me so long to reply, but had to look for the information (my
files are in desperate need of organization)
The item you are interested in is
"The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade: A Database on CD-ROM)
edited by Eltis, Richardson,Behrendt and Kline
distributed by Cambridge University Press, NYC.
The price is $195.00.
Our local Genealogy society donated half the money so that two of our local
libraries could purchase them.

Phillip Curtin, The African Slave Trade is the pioneer book from which most
scholars took off and continued to do research that would answer your
question.
Lovejoy's Transformations in Slavery is another one that has good data.
Also look for Inikori's book.
These sources will lead you to additional sources. BUT, you won't be able to
specifically answer the question you posed. The records do not exist in that
format, so scholars have been hesitant to make inferences. BUT if you read
Lovejoy, you can get a good sense of regions from which slaves came during a
certain period. While I don't like Lovejoy's framework (let's face it, much
can not be known and historians struggle to explain despite this fact), the
factual information is good.

Just over a year ago (fall of 1998) a database on the Trans-Atlantic Slave
Trade was released by Cambridge University Press (I believe). I cannot find
the flyer on it at the moment but I did give out the details to afrigeneas,
so perhaps if a search of the archives will steer you in the right
direction. Sorry I cannot be more specific, but I hope this helps
