FELIS PARDOIDES. 171 
and teeth of a species of Hog and of Deer, are preserved, 
from the same locality as the tooth of the pard-like Feline ; 
and Mr. Lyell, judging from their appearance, inclines to 
the opinion that they are all of the age of the red crag. 
“They seem,” he says, ‘to have undergone precisely the 
same process of trituration, and to have been impregnated 
with the same colouring matter, as some of the associated 
bones and teeth of fishes which we know to have been 
derived from the regular strata of the red crag.”* The 
probability of the Felis pardoides being a veritable fossil of 
the red crag brings to mind the examples of the same genus 
in strata of equal antiquity, in the great Felis aphanista, 
Kaup, and the Felis antediluviana, Kaup, which is a species 
of the size of the Newbourn fossil: both Felis aphanista 
and #’. antediluviana were discovered by Dr. Kaup + as- 
sociated with Dinotheriums and Mastodons in the miocene 
sand at Hpplesheim. 
MM. Croizet and Jobert | have also discovered in the 
tertiary strata of Auvergne, in the neighbourhood of Par- 
dines, a fossil Cat, Helis pardinensis, about the size of the 
Leopard.
