The flying Marsupials (Pi't«.nrns) resemble the flying Squirrels (Pteromt/s); the climbing Phalangers (PJialangista), in their shape and mode of life, recall the Lemurs (Lemur] ; while other-s, as the Peramelidw, show a likeness to the Shrews (Soricidce) and Insectivores. Finally, the carnivorous Marsupials approach in their dentition to the true Carnivora as well as the Insectivora, to which they scarcely yield in the large number of their small incisor teeth and tuberculated molars.
