The Camaroons Yellow-fronted Penduline Tit inhabits 

 Camaroons. 



The type of the species was discovered by Mr. Zenker at 

 Bipinde in Camaroons, and through the kindness of Dr. 

 Reichenow I have been able to examine it carefully and have 

 taken my description from that specimen, and I may add that 

 it is the only bird belonging to this West African group I have 

 as yet seen, so they are apparently very rare, at least in 

 collections. Mr. Zenker has found a nest of this species at 

 Jaunde Station.
