. The popular natural history . Zoology. no THE ARIEL PETAURUS. The food of the Petaurists is generally of a vegetable character, consisting of leaves, fruits, and buds, but the sharply-pointed molars of the Opossum Mouse approach so closelv to the insectivorous type that the creature is probably able to vary a vegetable diet by occasional admixture with animal food. , The parachute-like expansion of the skin is of very great service to the animal when it wishes to pass from one branch or from one tree to another without the trouble of descending and the laborious climbing up agam. Trusting to the powers of its parachute, the little creature will boldly launch itself into the air, stretching out all its limbs, and expanding the SKin to the utmost. Upborne by this membrane, the Opossum Mouse can sweep through very great intervals of space, and possesses no small power of altering its course at will. It cannot, however, support itself in the air by moving its limbs, like the bats, nor can it make any aerial progress when the original impetus of its leap has expired.. ARIEL PETAURUS.—(Fetaurus Ariel.) The beautiful little animal which has been called by the expressive name of Ariel, is about the size of a small rat, and in the hue of the upper portions of the body is not unlike that animal. The colour of the fur upon the upper portions of the body is a light brown, which darkens considerably upon the parachute membrane. On the under .surface it is white, the white fur just turning over, the edge of the parachute, and presenting a pretty contrast with the dark brown colour of its upper surface. The tail is nearly of the same colour as the bodv, with the excep- tion of the tip, which is dark. On account of its graceful movements, and the easy undulating sweep of its passage through the air, it has earned for itself the appropriate name of Ariel, in remembrance of the exquisite and tricksy sprite that animates the world-celebrated drama of the " Tempest."
