THE DORMOUSE-PHALANGERS. II3 the minute size of the fourth premolar, which is not larger thanthe other teeth of the same series. Distribution, —South and West Australia. Habits.—In size rather inferior to the common English Dor-mouse, this beautiful httle creature is abundantly and generallydistributed over the Swan river district. Being strictly noc-turnal in its habits, it secretes itself, according to Gouldsaccount, during the day in the hollows of trees, and at nightleaves its retreat for the flowering branches of low shrubbytrees. At night it is very active, and when in confinement willthen leap across its cage in pursuit of insects. Another ob-server states that it is found under the dead bark of eucalpytusand other trees, and in holes in trees that have been excavatedby fire. In such situations, if due caution be observed, it mayreadily be captured by the hand. II. COMMON DORMOUSE-PHALANGER. DROMICIA NANA. Phalangista nana^ Desmarest, Nouv. Diet. dHist. Nat., vol.
