 As I recently pointed out in a paper (1, c.) in this Journal, the name 

 micropus, used for the southern Hedgehog, by Blanford, was based 

 by Blyth on a specimen from Bhawalpur, and applied to the present 

 species ; the name pictus, given by Stoliczka to the Cutch species being- 

 sunk as a synonym, that form not being separable from the Bhawalpur 

 Hedgehog. 



Vernacular name — Sevro, Sewka. (H. H. the Rao.)
