''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 ex- 

 tremes of these colours.''
