This seems to be the first authentic occurrence of Cuculus 

 solitarius in the Camaroon Country. The specimens agree 

 with those from the Congo in having the throat of a slightly 

 darker chestnut shade than in South African birds, but not 

 to such an extent as to allow of their being considered distinct.
