SARICOVIA—SAUROCETES. 619 
Saricovia—Continued. 
Saricovia: Saricovienne, native name of the animal in La Plata adopted by Buffon. 
Probably from carigueibeju, the Brazilian name (pronounced — sarigoviou) 
signifying, according to Thevet, ‘dainty animal.’ (Burron, Hist. Nat., XIII, 319. ) 
Both words, according to Azara, are corrupted from sarigouérembiou, meaning 
‘eating sarigues,’ or opossums.
