Dulls of tbs Orongo Cuckes.

The drongo shrike Is a bird ot pugnacious dlsposltlun. es|>eclnlly it tha with, for a small bird, great ferocity. Douglas Dewar, from whom this account Is taken, says that he has watched a pair of these little birds attack and drive away a monkey which tried to climb Into the tree In which their nest was placed. Indeed, so able a lighter Is the shrike that some other birds, notably orioles and doves, frequently build their nests In the same tree In order to share the benetlt ot bla prowess. The drongo cuckoo lays Its king" crow. These are pugnacious, even ferocious, and without some guile cuckoo could not accomplish this it But the drongo cnckoo Is so like the drongo shrike, even having the
