Type. Above, yellowish olive, paler and yellower towards the upper tail- 

 coverts ; forehead uniform bright yellow ; quills and tail-feathers dark brown 

 edged with yellowish olive ; beneath, pale yellow tinted with green ; under

The Gaboon Yellow-fronted Penduline Tit inhabits West 

 Africa from Gaboon to Benguela. 



This species was discovered by Du Chaillu at the Moonda 

 river in Gaboon, and Prof. Barboza dn Bocage has since 

 recorded it from Caconda in Benguela, where it is called 

 " Canopo." 



It is known to me only by the description and figure of 

 the type specimen. 



The members of the genus are apparently not wide-ranging 

 species, so I should doubt if this one inhabited the whole of 

 West Africa from Senegambia to Benguela. I have accepted 

 Prof. Barboza du Bocage' s determination of the Caconda bird 

 as correct without having seen it or the type of this species, 

 so have given the range of A. flavifrons as from Gaboon to 

 Benguela. The Camaroons bird has apparently a much longer 

 bill and the feet are of a different colour, and the Senegambian 

 bird is a paler and smaller form, so I have divided this group 

 into three species.
