Why am I getting an incorrect wmsread error?

I'm trying to plot a map within the area latlim = [30 75] lonlim = [-25 45], and I get an error saying that WMSMapRequest epected a Latlim value within the range [-90 90]. My latlim value is within that range.

What went wrong?

My matlab entries are as follows:

>> worldmap(latlim,lonlim)

>> mstruct = gcm;

>> [elImg,R]=wmsread(etopo1_update,'Latlim',latlim,'Lonlim',lonlim);

Error using WMSMapRequest>validateLatlim (line 1281)

Expected the 'Latlim' value to be in the interval [-90, 90].

Error in WMSMapRequest>validateLayerProperties (line 1164)

validateLatlim(layer(k).Latlim, layer, WMSMapRequest.DefaultCRS);

Error in WMSMapRequest/setProperties (line 845)

self.pLayer = validateLayerProperties(layer, self.Server);

Error in WMSMapRequest (line 519)

self = setProperties(self, layer);

Error in wmsread (line 353)

mapRequest = WMSMapRequest(layerOrURL);
