" The Great Cuckoo-Shrike appeared to be rather scarce in 

 the low coastal country, but was quite plentiful in the moun- 

 tains. It was seen in pairs, which frequented the tops of the 

 trees. On more than one occasion, when one of a pair was 

 shot, the other bird came down to it on the ground and often 

 remained within a few feet of the collector," — C. H. B. G.
