the head : with long bands on the flanks proceeding from between 

 the shoulders, and terminating without interruption on the thighs. 



25. F, macroura. Size less than that of the F. pardalis, lower 

 on its legs, and its body more elongated : tail as long as the body 

 and the neck, its extremity when reflected reaching to the occi- 

 put : with long bands on the flanks which are more or less inter- 

 rupted. 



These two species were confounded together by Linne under 

 the name of F, pardalis; the latter, although specimens of it 

 have been long known, having been first determined by the Prince 

 de Neuwied. The Mexican Tiger of Pennant appears to be a 

 representation of the F. macroura. 



26. F. mitis, the Chati of M. F. Cuvier. Size less, more 

 slender and graceful than in the preceding species : tail nearly 

 half the length of the body and the head : spots not numerous, 

 rose-like, small and irregular, more or less rounded, and deeper 

 in colour than the ground of the fur, which is generally blond or 

 very light fulvous. 



27. F. tigrina. r 

 The Tigers which M. Temminck has not seen, and which he 



has consequently been unable to describe, or to refer to their 

 proper position, are eight in number; the Riraau Mangin, and 

 the Rimau Chigau of Sir Stamford Raffles ; the Felis Manul of 

 Pallas; the Chat Pampa, and the Eyra of D'Azzara; and three 

 species sent from North America by M. Rafinesque. Two other 

 species described by Molina, appear scarcely to merit insertion, 

 even in a catalogue of doubtful species, that author having, ac- 

 cording to M. Cuvier, written from memory in Italy his natural 

 history of Chili. 



In the preceding analysis of the results of M. Temminck's 

 labours in this very interesting genus, we have gone into greater 

 detail than usual, with a view of laying before such of our readers 

 as may not see the work itself, an outline of its contents sufficient 

 to convey a correct idea of them. That the subject is not yet 

 exhausted, and that somewhat may still be added to it even from 

 our present collections, we have no doubt. But whatever falls 

 from the pen of so sedulous an enquirer, is well worthy of atten-?
