The Northern pale HedgeJwg, Erinaceus micropus. 2 nat. size. 



The above drawing of the Northern pale Hedgehog is hardly light 

 enough in comparison with that of Hardwicke's Hedgehog on the prece- 

 ding page. 



These two hedgehogs can readily be distinguished by the difference in 

 colour, Hardwicke's being dark and the Northern pale, as its name 

 implies, light. Besides colour the two species are at once separated by 

 the absence in Hardwicke's of a naked furrow in the middle of the head, 

 which, as can be seen in the drawing, is very distinct in the Northern 

 pale Hedgehog.

 [" Musk shrews are fairly common. Two kept in captivity showed great 

 dexterity in catching flies on the wing, raising themselves on their hind 

 legs, and with quick movements of the head, snapping at the flies." —
