[237] Velasco says that the chucha, tututu, or guanchaca, is a sort of domestic fox, rather larger than a cat, with a very long tail, generally without hair; it is very cunning, is seldom seen in the daytime, and carries its young in a bag which opens and shuts on its belly, within which are the two nipples of its teats. Hist. de Quito, i, p. 92. Probably this is the small opossum of the genus Didelphys.
[238] Velasco describes the guadaquinaje as about the size of a hare, with no tail, and very good for food. Found in the warm parts of the province of Popayan. i, p. 89.
