(Published by permission of the Trustees of the British Museum.) 



By the kind intermediation of Dr. Hartert, tlie British 

 l\Iii!5eutn has received, as a donation, from Mons. Bhmc, the 

 well-known naturalist of Tunis, a number of small mammals 

 from that still little-known country. 



Among these there are examples of the following new 

 form of hedgehog: — 



ParaecJdnus deserti blancalis, subsp. n. 



Essential characters as in true deserti\ but with a greater 

 amount of wliite. Under surface almost wliolly white, a 

 small area in the inguinal region alone brown ; in deserti the 

 lower surface is prominently brown as far forward as the 

 sternum. Ears whitish behind, with scarcely any brown on 

 them. Limbs also with less white, the terminal brown only 

 commencing on the wrists and aidcles, while in deserti the 

 forearms and legs are also brown. 



Skull as in deserti. 



Condylo-basal length of skull 46 mm. ; zygomatic breadth 

 28 ; upj)er tooth-series 21"7. 



JIab. Island of Djerba, S.E. Tunis. 



Type. Adult female. B.M. no. 20. 5. 4. 5. Original num- 

 ber 8 h. Presented by Mons. Blanc of Tunis. Five speci- 

 nuns examined. 



No doubt very closely allied to the deserti of the mainland, 

 but distinguishable by its less brown underside.

 Lower Lias of Barroiv-on- Soar. By Chaules \V. Andrews,

 E/EMAINS of Theropodous Dinosaurs in deposits of Liassic age 

 are of extreme rarity. Lvdekker has described and figured 

 (Catal. Foss. Kept. Brit. Mus. pt. i. (1888) p. 173, fig. 28) 

 a tooth from the Lower Lias of Lyme liegis, which he 

 doubtfully lefers to the Triassic genus Zancludon. Later, 

 Dr. Smith Woodward gave an account with a figure (Ann. 

 & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 8, vol. i. (1908) p. 257) of a small 

 slender right tibia from the Lower Lias of Wiliucote, 

 Warwickshire. This he regards as belonging to a lightly- 

 built and active Megalosaurian Dinosaur, pointing out that
