The male Common Shrews obtained at the same time and in the same way as the females provide material which throws further light on the duration of life and of the breeding season in this species. This paper deals with the body-weights, weights of the reproductive organs and the occurrence of spermatozoa in the testes. The duration of fertility in the male and in the female are compared. The anatomy of the male reproductive organs is described by Ärnbäck-Christie-Linde (1907) and requires only brief consideration here.
