  On 
  the 
  Avifauna 
  of 
  Mount 
  Dulit 
  and 
  the 
  Baram 
  

   District 
  in 
  the 
  Territory/ 
  of 
  Saratvak.

  I 
  FIRST 
  began 
  to 
  collect 
  animals 
  in 
  Borneo 
  in 
  1887, 
  being 
  

   stimnlated 
  to 
  do 
  so 
  by 
  my 
  friend 
  Mr. 
  A. 
  H. 
  Everett, 
  and 
  as 
  

   I 
  was 
  stationed 
  far 
  in 
  the 
  interior 
  of 
  the 
  island 
  I 
  had 
  oppor- 
  

   tunities 
  of 
  exploring 
  several 
  portions 
  of 
  the 
  highlands 
  which 
  

   had 
  previously 
  been 
  unvisited 
  by 
  Europeans. 
  From 
  the 
  very 
  

   first 
  I 
  received 
  the 
  kindest 
  encouragement 
  from 
  His 
  Highness 
  

   the 
  Rajah, 
  and 
  it 
  has 
  been 
  a 
  double 
  pleasure 
  to 
  me 
  to 
  occupy 
  

   my 
  spare 
  time 
  in 
  the 
  exploration 
  of 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  outlying- 
  

   mountains 
  of 
  the 
  Baram 
  District, 
  knowing 
  that 
  the 
  Rajah 
  

   was 
  as 
  interested 
  as 
  myself 
  in 
  the 
  results 
  of 
  my 
  expeditions. 
  

   So 
  far 
  the 
  visit 
  I 
  made 
  to 
  Mount 
  Dulit 
  has 
  turned 
  out 
  very 
  

   satisfactorily^ 
  and 
  the 
  novelties 
  have 
  proved 
  to 
  be 
  of 
  remark- 
  

   able 
  interest 
  ; 
  but 
  of 
  course 
  much 
  still 
  remains 
  to 
  be 
  done 
  

   upon 
  that 
  mountain^ 
  and 
  I 
  expect 
  to 
  add 
  considerably 
  to 
  the 
  

   present 
  list 
  of 
  birds 
  which 
  I 
  have 
  found 
  inhabiting 
  it. 
  1 
  

   have 
  added 
  some 
  notes 
  upon 
  the 
  low-country 
  birds 
  also^ 
  and 
  

   I 
  hope 
  that 
  the 
  few 
  remarks 
  made 
  on 
  the 
  distribution 
  of 
  

   some 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  will 
  be 
  of 
  interest. 
  

  

  I 
  should 
  like 
  to 
  acknowledge 
  in 
  the 
  warmest 
  manner 
  the 
  

   assistance 
  and 
  encouragement 
  I 
  have 
  received 
  from 
  my 
  

   friends 
  at 
  the 
  British 
  Museum, 
  from 
  Dr. 
  Giinther^ 
  Dr. 
  

   Bowdler 
  Sliarpe, 
  and 
  Mr. 
  Ogilvie 
  Grant, 
  who 
  have 
  helped 
  

   me 
  with 
  the 
  birds 
  and 
  have 
  determined 
  the 
  species 
  for 
  me. 
  

   The 
  mammals 
  have 
  also 
  been 
  named 
  for 
  me 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Oldfield 
  

   Thomas. 
  

  

  For 
  the 
  position 
  of 
  Mount 
  Dulit 
  and 
  the 
  neighbouring- 
  

   portions 
  of 
  Sarawak 
  territory, 
  I 
  must 
  refer 
  my 
  readers 
  to 
  

   the 
  'Geographical 
  Journal^ 
  for 
  March 
  1893, 
  where 
  a 
  full 
  

   account 
  of 
  my 
  trip 
  to 
  the 
  mountain 
  is 
  given. 
  As 
  will 
  be 
  

   seen 
  by 
  the 
  accompanying 
  map 
  (p. 
  382), 
  which 
  is 
  taken 
  

   from 
  that 
  in 
  the 
  * 
  Geographical 
  Journal,' 
  Dulit 
  is 
  situated 
  

   in 
  Lat. 
  N. 
  3° 
  15' 
  and 
  Long. 
  E.

  14°. 
  

  

  I 
  do 
  not 
  consider 
  mv 
  work 
  on 
  Dulit 
  to 
  be

  nearly
