A series of specimens was collected by Dr. W. J. Ansorge 

 in various parts of Angola (Bihe, Benguella). It contained 

 male, female, and immature examples. All these were dirty 

 white underneath, and not " pale yellow tinged with green." 

 It is true that Captain Shelley described a form of these 

 Tits under the name of A. camaroonensis, a form which he 

 said differed from A. flavifrons in having the under surface 

 " buff." His single type, however, shows a distinct yellow 

 tinge on the abdomen and is not like the Angolan form, which 

 lacks all yellow.

 A. ansorgei, and others will have to rank as subspecies of 

 one group, but at present very little is known concerning 

 their distribution.

supra obscurior, et abdomine pectoreque usque ad gulam 



(non abdomine tantum) ochraceis facile distinguendus.
