Distribution. — Himalayas at 7,000 to 12,000 ft. from Nepai

This peculiar animal is very distinct from all other carnivora and 

 forms a distinct genus, and according to some views a distinct 

 family ; recently, Prof. Boyd Dawkins (Quat. Journ. Geol. Soc, 

 xliv, p. 230) has described a new species (Ailurus anglicus) 

 from the New Crag of Norfolk and Suffolk which is of pliocene 

 age, this is a very interesting discovery since it extends the range 

 of the genus Aelurus considerably and offers fresh evidence in 

 support of the view that the pliocene Mammalia of Europe are closely 

 related to those of the Oriental Region now living.
