VIVERRA Musanga. 



Musang bulan of the Malays. Jy J--^ 



This animal, figured by Mr. Marsden in his History of Su- 

 matra, is nearly related to V. Genetta, but must be considered 

 a distinct species. 



It is of a dusky fulvous colour mixed with black ; the tail is of 

 the same colour, except about two inches at the point, where 

 it is white, and is about as long as the body. The space from 

 the eyes to the ears is white ; there are some long black bris- 

 tles above the eyes, and some other white ones a little way 

 behind them. The nose is prominent at the extremity, and 

 deeply furrowed between the nostrils. The muzzle is long 

 and pointed. The feet are five-toed. The animal is about 

 the size of an ordinary Cat.
