HAB. Dukhun ; and other parts of India. 

 A. Presented by Colonel Sykes. 



On the habits of this species, Colonel Sykes states : " This animal is a 

 pest, from the damage it does in poultry-yards in Dukhun. It inhabits 

 the grass roofs of houses, and thick hedges, and obscure places of our 

 cantonments, shunning the face of man and the light, but is constantly 

 on the alert at night. The sexes resemble each other in colour, marks, 

 and size."
