Laniarius atroflavus, Shelley, P. Z.S., 1887, p. 124, pl. 13 Camaroon ;

Adult male—Upper parts glossy black, feathers of the lower back fluffy, 
and some of them with large rounded white subterminal spots, more or less 
hidden by the overlaying black feathers; the last feathers of the rump with 
broad buffish ends, forming a band at the base of the tail; under parts deep 
yellow, paler on the upper half of the throat and chin, changing to rufous 
buff between the thighs and on the under tail-coverts; outside of thighs 
black ; axillaries yellow, under wing-coverts buffy white, with a black patch 
towards the edge of the wing. ‘Iris brown, bill black, legs grey ’’ (Preuss). 
Total length 7:0 inches, culmen 0°7, wing 3°3, tail 2:8, tarsus 1-1. Mann’s 
Spring, type, 10.86 (Johnston). The female is like the male, wing 3:1. 
Immature.—Has the back greyish and less black, and the two pairs of 
outer tail-feathers, and some of the greater-coverts have yellow tips. 
The Yellow-breasted Boubou is confined to Camaroon. 
It was first taken by Sir Harry Johnston in October, 1886, 
at Mann’s Spring, at an elevation of 7,300 ft. on the Peak 
of Camaroon. Subsequently it was obtained by Preuss at 
Buea, “the highest inhabited village” on the peak, and by 
Knutson and Valdau, for the Stockholm Museum, at the same 
place as Johnston. 
The British Museum, in addition to the pair originally 
brought home by Johnston, contains a series of two males, 
two females, and an immature female, collected by Alexander, 
March 28-30, 1909, also on the Peak of Camaroon. 
Reichenow has recently recorded the species from 
Bamenda, and the Genderu Mountains in the interior of 
Camaroon.
