Arctogale is another Oriental genus with very small teeth, those 
of the molar series being hardly in contact. The soles of the feet are 
more naked than in the last genus, and the scent glands, if present, 
appear to be small and ill developed. It has also a long tail, and 
is arboreal in way of life. There is “ nothing particular recorded ” 
as to its habits. The species are A. leucotis and A. stigmatica. 
Closely allied to both the last genera is Memigale, also 
an Oriental genus. It is to be distinguished from Paradoxurus

by having the soles of the feet much less naked, though they are 
more so than in Viverra or Prionodon. The coloration of the 
species, Hf. hardwicki (a Malayan animal), is very peculiar. The 
body is banded with five or six broad transverse stripes, and the 
basal portion of the tail is also ringed, an uncommon feature in 
the group. A second species of this genus is 7. hosei, from Borneo. 
It is blackish in colour, but is not a melanie variety of the last. 
Nandinia appears never to possess a caecum. It is also 
peculiar among Carnivora in the non-ossification of the hinder
