es | BANGS —A NEW LYNX 25 
1899 
It is my opinion also that Lynx floridanus Raf. and L. texensis 
Allen (these two forms undoubtedly intergrade somewhere in 
western Louisiana or eastern Texas) belong to a third group that 
also is specifically differentiated. They have many peculiarities 
in common, differing from each other chiefly in color. They are 
long-legged, small-footed, large-sized, lightly built lynxes with 
very long, narrow, high skull, with much ‘pinched in’ rostrum 
and rather light dentition. 
Even if intergradation does take place between these different 
groups, at all events the subgenus Cervaria arranges itself into 
three strongly marked groups, each containing several forms.
