The spotting of this species is rather different from that of F. 

 marmoratus ; they may be only local varieties. 



The separation of the nasals from the maxiUaries is uniform in all 

 the six specimens of this skull in the British-Museum collection.

Hab. Asia. 



There are small-sized Spotted Asiatic Cats which have a long head, 

 with an elongated skull, and complete bony orbits. The skulls are 

 longest and the orbits more developed in the Felis viverrina of Ben- 

 nett and the Felis j^lnniceps of Vigors and Horsfield. But, besides 

 these, Felis nibigimsa of I. Geoffrey, in Belanger's ' Voyage,' and the 

 Cat which I described under the name of Leopardus EUiotl in the 

 ' Annals and Mag. of Nat. Hist.' for 1837 (x. p. 260) have a rather 

 elongated skull and complete orbits, though Mr. Blyth regards F. 

 Ellioii as only a variety of his F. heiufalensis.
