THE Chinche, Chinchilla, the Clamypho- 
rus, or Shield-bearer, of which two latter, if 
not of the Chinche also, there are specimens 
in the collection of the Society, are diminu- 
tive natives of South America, and all of 
them great novelties in the pages of na- 
tural history. The Clamyphorus, of which 
the Society has only a stuffed specimen and a 
skeleton, is of the Armadillo kind, and has 
been discovered only within the last two 
years. From the tip of the nose to the root 
of the tail, it measures but five inches and a 
quarter ; its height at the shoulder is only 
one inch and three quarters; and the length 
of its tail is one inch. This is rather less 
than half the size of the Three-banded Ar-
