cem verms albida. 
Brownish Shrew, whitish beneath, with short tail whitish to- 
wards the tip. 
Sorex constrictus? Schreh. suppL t. 1^9. Q, 
This appears, from Schreber's figure, to be 
of the size and colour of the common Shrew, and 
is whitish beneath : the tail is short, brown at the 
base, and whitish or much lighter as it proceeds 
to the tip. 
CINEREOUS SHREW. 
Sorex Unicolor. Spfusco cmereus, cauda basi angustata. 
Dusky-cinereous Shrew, with tail narrowed at the base. 
Unicolore Shrew. Peu/iant Quadr. 2. p. 228. 
This is of an uniform dusky-cinereous colour; 
with the base of the tail narrow or compressed. 
It inhabits, like tlie three preceding species, the 
neighbourhood of Strasburgh, where it was disco- 
vered by Professor Hermann. 
This species, which is quoted by Mr. Pennant 
from Dr. Hermann, seems allied to the preced- 
ing.
