THE MARBLED CAT. EDT 
menagerie appear to have rendered it very intractable for a 
few days ; but it soon became perfectly familiar, and fond of 
the persons who were employed about it. It was rather less 
voracious than a Leopard, and was fed with beef and the heads 
of fowls. 
Mr. Hose, who found this species on the Baram River, on 
Mount Dulit up to 5,000 feet, and on Mount Batu Song to 
2,000 feet, writes that “this animal is constantly procured 
by the natives of Borneo, the canine teeth being used by the 
Kayans and Keniahs as ear-ornaments, and the skin for the 
purpose of a war-coat. It is found both in the low country 
and on the mountains to a height of 5,000 fect.”
