"This species," says Mr. Gilbert, "does not confine itself to the hollows of standing or growing trees, but is often found in holes in the ground, where the entrance is covered with a stump; it is frequently hunted out of such places by the Kangaroo-dogs. It varies very much in the colour of the fur, from a very light grey to nearly a black; in one instance I caught two, from the same hole, which exhibited the extremes of these colours."
