WHITISH-TAILED SHREW. 



Sorex Leueurus. &. subfuscus, subtus albidus, cauda bred api- 

 cem versus albida. 



Brownish Shrew, whitish beneath, with short tail whitish to- 

 wards the tip. 



Sorex constrictus? Schreb. suppl, t. 159. C. 



THIS appears, from Schreber's figure,, to be 

 of the size and colour of the common Shrew, and 

 is whitish beneath : the tail is short, brown at the 

 base, and whitish or much lighter as it proceeds 

 to the tip. 



CINEREOUS SHREW. 



Sorex Unicolor. S.fusco cinereus, cauda basi angustata. 

 Dusky-cinereous Shrew, with tail narrowed at the base. 

 Unicolore Shrew. Pennant Quadr. %. p. 228. 



THIS is of an uniform dusky-cinereous colour; 

 with the base of the tail narrow or compressed. 

 It inhabits, like the three preceding species, the 

 neighbourhood of Strasburgh, where it was disco- 

 vered by Professor Hermann. 



This species, which is quoted by Mr. Pennant 

 from Dr. Hermann, seems allied to the preced- 

 ing.
