GROUP OF PUMAS. 
The colour of the Puma is an uniform light tawny tint, deeper in some individuals 
than in others, and fading into a beautiful greyish-white on the under parts. It is remark- 
able that the young Puma displays a gradual change in its fur, nearly in the same way as 
has been narrated of the lion cub. While the Puma cubs are yet in their first infancy, 
their coat is marked with several rows of dark streaks extending along the back and sides
