The order Rodentia is here very numerous in species: of mice alone I obtained no less than eight kinds.[4] The largest gnawing animal in the world, the Hydrochærus capybara (the water-hog), is here also common.

With them a few carnivorous animals are associated, among which are the _Hyænodon dasyuroides,_ a species of dog, _Canis Parisiensis,_ and a weasel, _Cynodon Parisiensis._ Of the _Rodentia_ are found a squirrel; of the _Cheiroptera,_ a bat; while the _Marsupalia_ (an order now confined to America, Australia, and some contiguous islands) are represented by an opossum.
