ERINACEUS FRONTALIS. 
Fhis little hedge-hog was first obtained in the districts around Old Latakoo, and on leaving 
that place, no additional specimens were acquired. Even where it was best known onlv a veiy 
few individuals were procured, and according to the natives it was every where rare. It has all 
the habits of the common hedge-hog, ( Erinaceus Europceus, Lin.) and like it, when surprised, 
rolls itself up into a globular mass, in which state it will often remain for hours together while 
the object creating its fears continues near it. Some individuals however, are less timid, and 
soon attempt to escape.
