NANDINE.—Nandinia binotata, 
Passina by several curious animals, we arrive at the pretty little creature which 
is known by the name of NANDINE. 
On account of the double row of spots which run along the body, the Nandine has 
been dignified with the title of “binotata,” or “double-spotted,” by almost every 
naturalist who has woven it into his system, even though the animal itself has been 
placed by some authors among the Civets, by some among the Ichneumons, and by others 
among the Paradoxures. 
The general colour of the fur is a darkish and very rich brown, darker along the 
back, and lighter on the sides, The tail is covered with blackish rings which are but 
obscurely defined. 
BINTURONG.—<Artictis Binturong. 
ONE of the largest examples of this group, is the dark, sullen, and sluggish BrnTruRoNG. 
This animal is a native of Malacca, from whence several living specimens and many 
skins have been brought to this country. The colour of the Binturong is a dead black, 
the hairs being long, coarse, and devoid of that gloss which is so often found upon black 
animals. The head is grey, and each ear is furnished with a long tuft of black hair. 
Round the edge of the ears runs a band of whitish grey.
