ADDITIONS TO VOLUME II 
SORICID. 
Since the account of the Sovzczde (p. 76) was published, 
-many Shrews from the Hebrides have come to hand, being 
among the fruits of the exploration of those islands organized 
by Mr W. R. Ogilvie-Grant. On most of the islands the 
Shrews found could not be distinguished from the corre- 
sponding species inhabiting the mainland of Britain; but the 
representative of Sorex araneus inhabiting Islay proved to 
be specifically distinct, and we described it in 1913 as a 
distinct species S. gvantiz. The account previously given 
may now be supplemented as follows :— 
Sorex araneus castaneus (Jenyns). 
Specimens indistinguishable from this form were collected by Mr 
R. W. Sheppard upon the islands of Great Cumbrae, Bute, Arran, 
and Mull; these were described by us in Proc. Zool. Soc., 1913, p. 823. 
Similar specimens were collected on Skye by Mr P. D. Montague, 
and on Eigg by both Mr Montague and Mr D. Anderson. The Shrew 
found by Mr Sheppard on Jura made some approach in coloration 
towards the peculiar species discovered on the neighbouring island 
of Islay.
