I have already mentioned nearly all the mammalia common in this country. Of armadilloes three species occur namely, the Dasypus minutus or pichy, the D. villosus or peludo, and the apar. The first extends ten degrees further south than any other kind; a fourth species, the Mulita, does not come as far south as Bahia Blanca.

The interior surface, as well as the lower part of the body, was covered with coarse scattered hairs, of which some were seen to issue forth between the joints of the armour. It had a pointed snout, long ears, short, thick limbs, and stout claws. "There are several species of the armadillo," observed our friend. "The creature before us is the Dasypus sexcinctus.
I do not know of a more striking instance in the animal kingdom of adaptation of structure to habit than is afforded by the hairy armadillo Dasypus villosus.
Hope there are some good-looking space dolls aboard." Tom turned to Astro. "You know, Astro," he said seriously, "it's a good thing we're along to take care of this Romeo. If he were alone, he'd wind up in another kind of hunt." "I'd like to see how Manning's tactics work on a female dasypus novemcinctur maximus," said Astro with a sly grin. "A female what?" yelled Roger.
