SERVALINE CAT.— The last representative of the Cats— great 

 and small — is the Servaline Cat (Fig. 118), which has more spots 

 than the Serval, and these are smaller. With the exception of these 

 markings there does not appear to be any great difference between 

 the two beasts, but it should be mentioned that whereas the Serval 

 inhabits the whole of the African continent, its namesake seems to 

 be restricted to the neighbourhood of Sierra Leone.
