surrounding forest, and seemed to avoi<l e(|ually tlii' d<“cid(“dly di'y liabilats 
and the wetter parts of the inarslies. 
When exposed to the lijjht they appeared to he dazed, and as a ruh^ 
oidy crouched closer iu their forms. Wlieu furtlier disturhed they would 
attempt to ^et under some nearby cover, whicli was generaily tlie log 
which had been rolled oiT them. They rarely jumped when attemjjt- 
ing to escape capture, their usual gait being ai)parently a sort of walk iu 
which the body is pushed forward principally by the powerful hind legs. 
^Vheu they jump the body is not raised much above the ground. 
The stomach contents of two specimens have been examined. In one 
there are many termites and ants, the termites predominating, a few 
j)ieces of insects other than ants, a few fragments of vegetable matter, and 
some small lumps of earth. The vegetable and inorganic matter was 
probably taken accidentally with the foo<l. The other stomach contains 
ants only.
