OPOSSUM AND CHIFMUNK. The on!y American Marsupial is a carnivorous animal, always hungry and untiring in pursuit of prey. It pos- sesses acute powers of scent, and is very persistent in following the trail of any smaller animal. In the pil ture it has followed to its lair and overcome a Chipmunk, which it has dragged to a convenient tree and is in the act of devouring. This picture shows tin manner in which it holds on to limbs by il and is an excellent portrait of this predaceous Marsupial. ; Didelphys marsupialis.) (393)
