  Two

  This 
  striking 
  cat, 
  which 
  at 
  first 
  sight 
  looks 
  as 
  if 
  it 
  should 
  

   have 
  come 
  from 
  Africa 
  or 
  India 
  instead 
  of 
  South 
  America, 
  is 
  

   clearly 
  a 
  representative 
  in 
  the 
  dry 
  country 
  of 
  Ceara 
  of 
  the 
  

   South 
  Brazilian 
  F. 
  guttula, 
  a 
  species 
  which 
  has 
  the 
  usual 
  

   colour-characteristics 
  of 
  South-American 
  animals. 
  

  

  F. 
  emilice 
  is 
  readily 
  separable 
  from 
  F. 
  guttula 
  by 
  its 
  pale 
  

   colour, 
  whitish 
  underside, 
  the 
  sharp 
  definition 
  of 
  all 
  its 
  

   markings, 
  and 
  by 
  the 
  cranial 
  characters 
  above 
  mentioned, 
  

   although 
  these 
  are 
  but 
  sliglit 
  and 
  may 
  prove 
  to 
  bo 
  variable. 
  

  

  Erom 
  all 
  other 
  species 
  than 
  F. 
  guttula 
  it 
  is 
  distinguished 
  

   by 
  the 
  group-characters 
  described 
  in 
  my 
  paper 
  on 
  the 
  subject 
  

   already 
  referred 
  to. 
  

  

  This 
  adds 
  another 
  to 
  the 
  many 
  striking 
  and 
  interesting- 
  

   species 
  that 
  Praulein 
  Snethlage 
  has 
  been 
  instrumental 
  in 
  

   discovering, 
  and 
  I 
  have 
  much 
  pleasure 
  in 
  connecting 
  her 
  

   name 
  witli 
  it.
