138 LLOYD’S NATURAL HISTORY. 
Felis aurata, Temminck, of. gg p. 120 (withdrawn). 
Felis rutila, Waterhouse, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1842, p. 130; Mivart, 
The Cat, p. 406 (1881). 
Characters—This may be characterised as a rather small, 
long-tailed Cat, with the upper-parts reddish-brown, marked on 
the sides with black spots ; under-parts white, with black spots ; 
tail reddish-brown above and white beneath, without either spots 
or bands ; no dark streaks on the face. 
Of rather smaller size than the next (with which it was iden- 
tified by Mr. Elliot), this species seems sufficiently distinguished 
by the reddish hue of the fur and the general absence of dis- 
tinct dark markings on the tail. The Ze/is rutila of Waterhouse 
was founded onan imperfect skin in the British Museum. It 
is described as reddish-brown, with indistinct small darker 
spots on the sides; back medianly dark brown ; under-parts 
white, with large dark brown spots ; tail reddish-brown, with a 
dark central line along its upper surface, while at each side it 
is pale, with obscure indications of darker bands. In the skull 
the orbit is incomplete behind, and the anterior pre-molar of 
very small size. Length of head and body, about 28 inches ; 
of tail, 16 inches. 
Distribution.—Interior of ‘Togo-land, West Africa. This 
species is frequently known by the name of the Golden-haired 
Cat.
