1895.] THE MAMMALS OF ADKX, 547 



Bat kept itself entirely separate from them. The secoud locality 

 was also a cave near sea-level, but, although commuuicating with 

 the sea, its general level was above high-water mark ; here C. afra 

 was in considerable numbers, and was apparently the only species 

 present. Each gravid female had, as usual, only a single foetus.

a. Lahej. 22. III. 95. 



b. $ . Lahej. 29. III. 95. 



These two specimens were obtained in the same cave as Xanth- 

 ar2Ji/ia ceijijptiaca. Only these two species were seen in this cave, 

 or, rather, tunnel, where a stream from the cultivated lands above 

 to the bed of the Wady below had first cut and then burrowed 

 its way uudergi'ound. 



Specimen h contained a single foetus. • 



11. Khinopoma MiciioPHYLLUM, Gcoffr. 



a. $ ? Aden. 9. IV. 95. In small cave alone. 



This was the only specimen met with, although tour or five 

 Bats had been reported to have been seen in the cave (up among 

 the rocks) a day or two previous. 



12. Crociduka russula (Herm.). 

 a. Aden. 1885. 



This Shrew, collected and presented to the Museum by Yerbury 

 in 1885, was examined and identified as " Crocidura aranea " 

 by Dr. Dobson — an identification which we provisionally accept, 

 although not without some doubts on the subject. 



We apply to this species the name russula instead of aranea, for 

 the reasons set forth by Thomas in the ' Zoologist ' for 1895 '. 



13. Crociduea (Pachtttea) etrusca, Savi. 



rt. Aden. 1884. 

 h. Lahej. 17. III. 95. 



This determination, like the last, is that of Dr. Dobson, in whose 

 writing the 1884 specimen is labelled. 



14. Eeinaceus, sp. inc. 



A Hedgehog is sometimes to be seen for sale in Aden, but the 

 inhabitants of the neighbourhood of Lahej do not seem to know 

 the animal ; it appears probable, therefore, that these specimens 

 have been brought either from the Somali coast or from the 

 neighbourhood of MakuUah to the N.E. of Aden.
