PART V: SYSTEMATIC LIST OF BIRDS for the CAMEROON,
This list follows the taxonomy, names and sequence of James F. Clements (July 1991, Birds of the World. A Check List and Supplements No. 1, 2, 3 & 4).
This specific treatment follows Dr. Charles Sibley and Dr. Burt L. Monroe, Jr (1990, Distribution and Taxonomy of Birds of the World, Yale University Press).
Species in brackets are the English names in "The Birds of Africa, Volumes I, II, II, IV & V" by E.K. Urban, C.H. Fry and S. Keith, but only mentioned when these differ significantly from the Clements Check List.
The Dutch names follow the "Complete Checklist, Vogels van de Wereld" of Michael Walters.
Numbers quoted are estimates of the minimum numbers seen.
