SECTION Yl. CYNALOPEX. 



The following may be considered as Jackals with 

 long tails, or Foxes with diurnal eyes, in some 

 respects assimilating with a kindred group of South 

 America. But further inquiry will most likely 

 show, that they have all furred feet, and ears 

 largely developed, and a black spot on the base 

 of the tail covering a gland; therefore that they 

 belong in reality to, and constitute the Asiatic 

 part of the Megalotine group, having similar pro- 

 pensities to feed on Insects as well as birds.
