 " Hedgehogs are particularly scarce during the cold weather but come out 

 as it grows warmer, when numbers of them may be met with strolling about 

 after dusk. They seldom make any attempt to escape but roll themselves 

 up and lie still." — S.H.P.

Rardwickes Hedgehog.

In a paper on the nomenclature of the Indian Hedgehogs m this Journal 

 (Vol. XX, p. 80), I pointed out that the type of blanfordi had a bald 

 parting on the forehead and was a synonym therefore not of collaris which 

 has no such parting but of jerdoni and, as the older name, must be used for 

 that species. Besides the bald patch on the forehead, blanfordi, though 

 otherwise very like collaris may be at once distinguished from that species 

 by its whitened face. 



(15) Pachyura subfulva. And. 

 The Pale Northern Shreic. 



1877. Pachyura subfulva, Anderson, J. A. S. B., XLVT, p. 278.

Anderson gave this name to a shrew taken by Stoliczka inCutch, record- 

 ing that the individual was quite a young one. Three of the specimens 

 from Sukkur are young and the fourth is a nursing female. The young 

 agree quite closely with Anderson's description of subfulva and the female 

 may well be an adult specimen of the same species. I adopt the name 

 therefore, for these, if not confidently, without much hesitation. The speci- 

 men from Naundero which is a d fits by no means so well with the descrip- 

 tion and differs a good deal from the Sukkur female. There is no other 

 name however available for it and I do not care to give it one until the 

 whole group has been worked out afresh in detail. Blanford refers to this 

 species at p. 241 of his Mammalia.

 The Jungle Cat.
