The Cuckoo in the East

Abstract

IN May 1887 I wrote to you that I had heard the cuckoo at Mussoorie. This year, on coming up here, I heard it at Doneira (about 2000 feet) and at Mamul (4000 feet). I have been here five days and have not heard it at all. There has been a deficiency of rain here, and it has been unusually hot. Both notes were very clear and distinct.
