Erinaceus macracanthus, Blanford. 
A specimen obtained at Kandahar in April is obviously 
distinct from the preceding species, and is clearly referable to 
the hedgehog described by Mr. Blanford in his ‘ Zoology of 
Persia’ (1876, p. 27). This example, which agrees perfectly 
with the original description and figure of the adult animal, 
has a distinct nude space on the vertex, running back to the 
nape; the spines are much longer and coarser than in #. 
megalotis, and are differently coloured. ‘There are two pale 
bands, one at the base of the spine and one subterminal, and 
two black ones, situated one above the basal isabelline band 
and one occupying the tip of the spe. ‘The general effect 
produced by the different distribution of colours on the spines 
of LE. megalotis and EL. macracanthus is this, that, viewed from 
above, the former is of a pale clay-colour, while the latter is 
black. In the present specimen the upper canine has two 
roots, the first upper premolar has also two, and the second 
upper premolar has three roots. 
The following are the measurements of the skull of #. 
macracanthus, which differs considerably in shape from that of 
Li. megalotis.

According to Hutton, wolves are common about Kandahar.
