 served it on the Korat plateau which constitutes a very

When caught the animal at once rolls upp like hedgehog 

 concealing its head between the paws. This species is distri- 

 buted över the Indo-Chinese countries, the Malay Peninsula

The specimen in my collection has the terminal portion 

 of the tail of a yellowish-white colour.
