  This 
  little 
  Oriole 
  is 
  common 
  all 
  through 
  the 
  low 
  country, 
  

   and 
  on 
  Dulit 
  up 
  to 
  2000 
  feet. 
  It 
  has 
  rather 
  a 
  pretty 
  whistle, 
  

   and 
  by 
  imitating 
  its 
  note 
  it 
  is 
  possible 
  to 
  decoy 
  it 
  quite 
  close 
  

   to 
  one.

  This 
  new 
  and 
  remarkable 
  species 
  was 
  found 
  by 
  me 
  on 
  the 
  

   top 
  of 
  Mount 
  Dulit 
  at 
  5000 
  feet, 
  living 
  in 
  the 
  damp 
  moss- 
  

   covered 
  stunted 
  jungle. 
  I 
  had 
  not 
  much 
  opportunity 
  for 
  

   watching 
  its 
  habits.

  This 
  Shrike 
  is 
  a 
  monsoon 
  visitor, 
  and 
  is 
  found 
  all 
  through 
  

   the 
  low 
  country, 
  where 
  it 
  is 
  by 
  no 
  means 
  rare. 
  Its 
  habits 
  

   resemble 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  ordinary 
  English 
  Butcher-bird.
