white, The sides of the neck to above the shoulders are 
covered with very long bristly hairs, white with a somewhat 
rusty tint. On the whiskers the colour deepens and shades 
into cinnamon and then rapidly into “tawny” (Ridgway, 
1912) or “fawn” (Rép. de Couleur, 308°2), which colour 
occupies the lower surface from the chin to the breast, then 
the colour becomes lighter and shades on the middle of the 
belly to “ cinnamon-buft” (Ridgway) and almost to whitish 
towards the flanks and anal region. The fore feet are a little 
more cinnamon than “sayal-brown,” darker towards the 
hands. The hind legs and feet are very similar to Ridgway’s 
* snutf-brown.” 
The ears are beset with brownish hairs on the margin, 
white inside. Total length of the preserved dry specimen 
24cem.; tail about 28 mm.; hind foot (s. u.) 39mm. ; ear 
about 26mm. The claws have about the same development 
as in the Common Hedgehog, and are not reduced on the 
first and fifth toes in such a way asin Hrinaceus dealbatus, 
The Korea Hedgehog has larger feet than the last-mentioned, 
and the posterior plantar pads seem to be less confluent.

The specimen is an old male with rather strongly worn 
teeth. The sagittal crest is strongly developed and extends 
forward over the posterior half of the frontals. The ante- 
orbital crest is well developed, especially above for. /acrymale. 
The nasals are very short mesially, but extend laterally as 
slender processes forward along the premaxillary for some 
distance, so that by this the naso-premaxillary suture 
becomes as long as the naso-maxillary and naso-frontal 
sutures together. The nasals do not reach further backwards 
than to the level of foramina lacrymalia. The premaxillary 
terminates rather broadly behind. The nasal processes of 
the frontals very slender. J' very long and_ slender. 
C double-rooted. M* has a more transverse position than 
in the Common Hedgehog, but not so much as in 
E. dealbatus.
