Tail cylindrical, reaching to the hocks. Limbs more equal. Pads 

 of feet bald. Pupil oblong. The skuU is that of the Lynx ; but 

 the processes of the fi'ontals and intermaxillse are not quite so much 

 produced, and they do not entirely separate the nasals from the 

 maxiUse. The front upper false grinder is absent. The orbits are 

 rather large, and incomplete behind. The lobe on the inner side of 

 the upper flesh-tooth small.
