Mount Dulit

Mount Dulit is a mountain in Borneo. It peaks at 1311 m above sea level and stands at the head of the Baram River in northern Sarawak, Malaysia. It is a western outlier of the Bornean cordillera and is largely covered with tropical rainforest. It has given its name to various plants and animals including the Dulit Frogmouth (Batrachostomus harterti), Dulit Partridge (Rhizothera dulitensis), the frog Rhacophorus dulitensis, the caecilian Ichthyophis dulitensis, and to the trilobite beetle genus Duliticola. It is the site from which Charles Hose collected the holotype specimen of the rare and elusive Hose's Civet (Diplogale hosei) in 1891.
