330 Mr. R. I. Pocock on the 
Practically the only modern classifications employing a 
selection of the generic terms previously published by Gray, 
Severtzow, and others are those proposed by Matschie (SB. 
Ges. nat. Fr. Berlin, 1895, pp. 198-199) and ‘Trouessart 
(Cat. Mamm., Suppl. pp. 265-278, 1904). 
Matschie grouped the species as follows :— 
Genus Uncia concolor, tigris, leo. 
»  Leopardus pardus (including wncia), onca. 
»,  Galeopardus viverrina, marmorata, serval, pardalis. 
»  elis microtis, scripta, shawiana, bengalensis, rubi- 
ginosa, ornata, nigripes, tigrina, macrura | wiedit }, 
geoffroyt, guigna. 
»  Catus catus, manul, caudata, planiceps, chaus, mani- 
culata [ocreata|, pajeros, colocolo, ete. 
>, Lynx lynx, caracal, etc. 
»,  Neofelis nebulosa. 
,»  [Self-coloured Cats] temmincki, aurata, yaguarondi. 
Trouessart followed Matschie in some respects, but used 
in several cases different names :— 
Genus Felis. 
Subgen. Uncia leo, tigris, concolor. 
a Leopardus pardus, uncia, onca. 
“a Zibethailurus viverrina, marmorata, nebulosa, 
serval, pardalis. ; 
tf Oncoides microtis, shawiana, scripta, bengalensis, 
rubiginosa, ornata, wiedii, tigrina, geoffroy?, 
guigna. 
ie Felis catus, manul, planiceps, libyca [ocreata], 
nigripes, pajeros, colocolo. 
ey Catopuma temmincki, badia, wurata, yaguarondi. 
Genus Lynx with subgen. Lynx, Cervaria, Caracal. 
I have elsewhere* criticised, both from the systematic and 
nominal standpoints, Matschie’s genera Uncia and Leopardus. 
Neither in these cases nor in the case of the rest of the 
genera are any reasons vouchsafed for the specific groupings 
or for the names employed ; and since such widely different 
forms as planiceps, manul, and colocolo are placed in the 
same genus and such closely related forms as ornata and 
ocreata in different genera, further discussion of the 
* Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (8) xviii. p. 816 (1916). 
+ The same applies to Grevé’s classification (Nov. Acta. Kais. Acad. 
Leop. Ixiii. no. 1, pp. 76-77, 1894). Although this author adopted 
what he called subgenera, it does not appear to me that the names are 
worth quoting in synonymy when such subgeneric terms as ‘“ Unicolores,” 
“ Cati,’ and “ Pardina der alten Welt,” are enlisted with Servalina, 
Tiyrina, and others. The names, at any rate, are in all cases antedated.
