vation. In large forests, I have Dot observed it. Its flight is low 
and interrupted. Wherever it resides it is a welcome neighbour, in 
consequence of the peculiarity and pleasantness of its note. This 
consists of a slow repetition of the five tones of the diatonic scale 
(C D E F Gr), which it chants with perfect regularity, several times 
in succession, and at small intervals of time. The sixth tone is 
sometimes added ; but as this requires apparently an extraordinary 
effort, it is by no means so agreeable to a musical ear as the simple 
repetition of five notes, which appears to be the natural compass of 
the organs of the bird." — (Horsf. Zool. Bes. in Java.)
