Strange Type Of AnintaI in
Ecuador.

One of the strangest Of living ami
mails. long known only from fossil re-
mains, now is fairly abundant in the
forests of Ecuador, it is reported to the
American Society of Mammalogists by
G. H H. Tate Of the American Museum
of Natural History.
This creature, about the size OF q
small mouse, is the caenoleStes. 1t is
one of the two animals outside of Aus
tralia that carry their undeveloped
young in pouches on the outside of the
body, the other being the opoSsum. But
the caenolesteS is much closer to the
Australian marSupials than to its New
World cousin. How 1t happened to de-
velop in South America is one of the
unsolved mysteries of zoology.
Found alive for the first time only
a few years ago it now can be caught
in Ecuador as readily as any other fairly
abundant animal, once a collector has
become familiar with its habits, Tate
reports. There are two species, one in
habiting mountain foothills and the
other subtropical forest. The latter, he
says is abundant in small, brushy ra-
vines near water. Frequently the run
ways, which they use in common with
mice, are found to pass up and down
the steepest parts of gullies. The ami
mails are not suspicious Of traps. They
live entirely on insects.
