Never having seen a good figure of this animal, I have thought it
desirable to introduce it in the plates of this work.
The _Didelphis brachyura_ is closely allied to the _D. tricolor_ of
authors, but in that species the upper parts of the body are nearly
black; the sides of the head and body are of a deep rusty red tint, and
the under parts are almost white.
“Was caught by some boys digging in a garden. Its intestines were full
of the remains of insects, chiefly ants and others of the Hemipterous
order.”—D.
