Armillata (Felis). Fk. Cuviek, 1832. Hist. Nat. Mamm., J I, January, lSo2, pi. 



CXXXII. 



The figure resembles the Brazilian Ocelot, but no locality is given. 

 The specimen was living in the menagerie of the Jardin des Plantes. 

 Canescens (Felis). Swainson, 1838. Animals in Menageries, p. 118, tig. 16. 



This is Ocelot No. 8 of Maj. Charles Hamilton Smith, who observes: 

 "A young female of this is now in Mr. Bullock's Mexican collection. 

 It came from Mexico. 1 have examined live or six specimens, and 

 believe 1 have sufficient grounds for considering the diflerences 

 between this and the preceding [Ocelot No, 2, from ''South America"] 

 not to arise from nonage," Probably composite. If from Mexico, 

 perhaps Felis jxirdalis Linngeus. 



Smitliii (Felis). Swaixsox, 1838. Animals in Menageries, p. 120, fig. 17. 



This is Ocelot No. 2 of Maj. Charles Hamilton Smith. In applying 

 the name FcIis canescens to Smith's Ocelot No. 3, Swainson had 

 restricted Smith's Felis ocelot to No. 2. Felis smith il therefore 

 became at once a synonym of Felis ocelot Smith. 



Maracaya (Felis). Wagner, 1841. Supplement to Schreber's Saugthiere, II, 

 p. 492. (South America.) 



It is the Felis imrdalis of Wied, Beitrage zur Naturgesch^ Bras., II, 

 p. 361. Brazil and Paraguay. Perhaps identical with Azara's Chibi- 

 gouazou. 



Pictus (Leopardus). J. E. Gray, 1842. Ann. ISIag. Nat. Hist., X, p. 260. 



A very strongly colored Ocelot which I have not seen; from ''Cen- 

 tral America." The de.scription, given more in detail in Gray's List 

 of Mammals in the British Museum, 1843, p. 43, and especially in the 

 Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London for the year 1867, 

 p. 271, does not agree with the Ocelot which I have named Felis 

 costaricensis. 



Griseus (Leopardus). J. E. Gray, 1842. Ann. IMag. Nat. Hist., X, 1842, p. 260 

 ("Hal>. Central America. Both varieties in Brit. Mus.") 



Later, Gray stated that it came from Guatemala. I am unal)le to 

 identify it Avith any of the forms which I have examined. 



Pseudopardalis (Felis). Boitard, 1842. Le Jardine des Plantes description et 

 moeurs des Mammiferes, etc., p. 187. 



Supposed to inhabit Mexico and the Ba}' of Campeche, Apparently 

 a synonym of Felis jxwdalis Linnaeus, 



Melannra (Felis). Ball, 1844. Proc. Zool. Soc, p. 128. 

 Undeterminable; described from a living .spocimon from an unknown 

 localit}. 



Albescens (Fells', Pucherax. 1855. Voyage Venus, Zool., text p. 137, atlas pi.
