the F. pardalis. The great distinction is in the 

 lengthened arrangement of the markings, which even 

 upon the legs assume the form of lengthened spots 

 with an open centre. We give the Major's descrip- 

 tion in his own words. " It is about the size of a 

 wild cat ; the legs are, in proportion, shorter than the 

 ocelot ; the head and body heavier ; the mane, fore- 

 head, under the eyes, arms, shoulders, back, rump, 

 hind-legs, and tail, are of a reddish-yellow colour ; 

 the temples ochrey ; the cheeks, throat, belly, and 

 inside of the legs, white. Several rows of black spots 

 from the ears converge on the forehead. There is a 

 single streak from the outer angle of the eye to be- 

 low the ear. On the shoulders, back, sides, rump, 

 and hams, there are long chain-like streaks of black 

 and reddish brown intermixed ; the belly and throat 

 have black streaks, and the tail has imperfect black 

 anculi."
