Jenyns, p 20 ; Bell, p 28, 2nd ed., p 96 ; Biasing, p 29 ; Clermont, p 4. 
Common in some localities. “In the neighbourhood of Tre- 
lawny house this species abounds, almost to the exclusion of 
every other.’’ Falmouth, Dr. Bullmore.

Common. 
Mole . — Talpa Europcea. 
Jenyns, p 17 ; Bell, p 85, 2nd ed., p 115 ; Biasing, p 109 ; Clermont, p 48. 
“In Cornwall generally the Want. Moel, in Welsh, signifies a 
little hiU, and a moel implies a small tumour, but mould also 
means the earth or soil, and mould-warp, another name of the 
animal, implies one that bends or works the soil. The Want is 
one that disappears, as to want is to be absent, to disappear.” 
Common. A mole catcher, in six winter months, took twelve 
hundred moles in the county. 
Common Sheew. — Sorex Vulga/ris. 
Jenyns, p 17 ; Bell, p 109, 2nd ed., p 141 j Biasing, p 129 ; Clermont, p 37.

Bell, 2nd ed., p 148a ; Biasing, p 133 ; Clermont, p 38. 
This species, although not hitherto recorded as occurring in

buted throughout the country.

Jenyns, p 18 ; Bell, p 155, 2nd ed., p 149 ; Biasing, p 120 ; Clermont, p 40.
