The (folden Cat is repre.sented by a flat skin, lacking skull, 

 limbs or tail, but tiie lalter is said to have had the terminal portion 

 white beneatii ; it appears to be a very typical example. This is a 

 handsome animal with its ferruginous unspotted coat, black-tipped 

 ears and pale face-markings ; it attains a total length of about four 

 feet of which the tail is some 18 inches. 



De Pouraargues (Mission Pavie, Indo-Chine, Etudes Diverges 

 III., p. 546) states that this cat inhabits Siam and Laos, but I have 

 been unable to find any exact record for these localities 1

The discovery of the Flat- headed Cat in Patani considerablj' 

 extends the known range of the species in the Peninsula, as apparentlj'' 

 it has only been recorded previously from as far north as Selangor 

 (Flower, P. Z. S., 1900, p. 32G). 



The specimen is rich daik brown above, the hairs annulated

 Throat, chest and under side of body are whitish and there are obsolete 

 dark bars on the limbs, and spots on the sides and belly. The forehead 

 an<l cheeks are striped \\i(h white.
