 Very common in spring in the hilly region of the Upper Yangtsze, 

 as far west as Moupin. Has occurred also in A moorland. A noisy 

 bird, crying loudly from the tops of trees, often during the night. 

 Its note resembles somewhat that of the Koel, for which it was mis- 

 taken by Capt. Blakiston's party on the Yangtsze. The Koel does 

 not occur in that region.
