same time of night, or rather early morning. The Malays hold the same belief 
with regard to the urine of the srtg&la as that held by the Ghonds and other Indian 
tribes regarding that of the dhole (Cyon ruiilans\ vis that It causes blindness, 
and that the dogs make use of this quality by urinating against the trunks of 
trees on which their prey is likely to rub itself'

T. ferruginea is the southern form of this species and, judging by recent 
collections, it does not appear to go very far north.

Although perfectly adult this is a small specimen, being about the same 
size as the one noted by Blanford (Faun. Brit. Ind. Mamm., p. 235 (1888) ). 
The measurements in the flesh were as follows :—Head and body, 97 mm. ; 
Tail, 55 mm. ; Hind foot, 18 mm.; Ear, 8 mm. 
* It is probable that this musk shrew is an introduction into the Peninsula, 
and not an indigene. We never met with it in the Patani States, though it is 
not a mammal that is likely to escape notice, and if it occurs at all it must be 
decidedly rare and local. On the other hand, it was extremely common at 
Kuala Lumpur, where I saw several specimens which were captured under the 
houses, and it is well-known both in Penang and Singapore. The specimen 
in the collection was captured by one of our men on the curb of a well in the 
early morning ; it appeared to be quite blind, as it actually ran over his foot. 
The eyes were very small and almost unpigmented.’
