Dr. N. SevertzoiF on the Mammals of TurTcestan. 49 



26. Cams corsak. 



Is found exactly in the same places as the preceding, but 

 has never been observed by me above 1000 feet altitude. 



27. Felts tigris. 



Is common in Turkestan, especially up to about 4000 feet 

 altitude; but beyond that it is rare in winter, and only in 

 summer does it visit localities which are higher than 7000 feet. 



28. Felis irhis. 

 Common, but not below 4000 feet. 



29. Felis juhata. 



Only in the western portion of Turkestan have I met with 

 this species, and even there only in the low plains. 



30. Felis lynx (cum var. cewaria). 



Is a resident in Turkestan, and seems to inhabit a zone not 

 below 4000 feet nor above 10000 feet ; I did not find it at any 

 other altitude. 



31. Felis manul. 

 Inhabits the east of Turkestan. 



32. Felis servalina. 



I met with it only in the western parts and in the low 

 steppes, plains, &c., not above 1000 feet above the sea*.

 made by Dr. N. A. Severtzoff.— F. 0. C] 



Felis servalina is F. servalina, Jardine, ' Naturalist's Library,' "Cats ; " 

 synoii. F. ornata. It is figured in this work evidently from a stuffed 

 specimen ; legs too long, but the markings identical. In the description 

 the proportion of height to length (10 inches to 15) is wrong — again, I 

 think, from incorrect stuffing of the described specimen, which was in 

 the Edinburgh Museum, and which from its small dimensions was evi- 

 dently a young one, the adult averaging 23-25 inches in length without 

 tail, which latter measures about 1 foot. 



Since then, this animal (adult) has been very carefully described, from 

 Ust-Urt, by^Eversmann (Bullet. Soc. Natur. de Mosc, about 1850). Evers- 

 mann named it also F. sn-valina. Therefoi*e I cannot mention it as new, 

 knowing two good descriptions and a figure. 



This cat is the Cham caudatus, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1874, p. 81, pis. vi. 

 & vii. The specimen described was labelled in Russian from the Jany- 



Ann.& Mag. N. Hist. Ser. 4. I o/. xviii. 4
