Of the five hedgehogs collected at Gwao's, Poonia, and Usshora, 

 only one was a male. Most of these were kept in captivity for 

 some time as well as others which escaped. Tiiey Avill drink milk 

 immediately after captui'e and eat meat readily after considerable 

 chewing. One was seen crossing the road in the moonlight and 

 ran Avith surprising swiftness. The natives of Singida District 

 stated that they were not at all uncommon. A young one no 

 larger than a tennis ball escaped from a deep wash-basin.
