In one of the letters from my son Charles, now engaged on a geological survey of Tasmania, the following
VoL LPL? passage having reference to this animal occurs :—
‘IT lay down, looking up at the moon and stars, thinking of home, and dreamily listening to the crackling of
the fire, when a diabolical, chattering, grunting laugh overhead makes me start up, and discover that a Soot

Ring-tailed Opossums performing an active part in it also, and the ‘ More Pork’ (Podargus Cuviert) lending a
little lugubrious assistance occasionally.”

1 “This species,” says Mr. Gilbert, “ does not confine itself to the hollows of standing or growing trees, but is
: often found in holes in the ground, where the entrance is covered with a stump ; it is frequently hunted out of such
places by the Kangaroo-dogs. It varies very much in the colour of the fur, from a very light grey to nearly a
black ; in one instance I caught two, from the same hole, which exhibited the extremes of these colours.”
