SURINAM DOG. 



Canis Thous. C. cauda deftexa lowi, cwport subgriseo, subtus 



albo. Lin. Syst. Nat. 



Greyish Dog, white beneath, with deflected tail. 

 Surinam Dog. Pennant Quadr. i.p. z6'/. 



THIS species is said by Linnaeus to inhabit Su- 

 rinam. It seems to have been unknown to other 

 naturalists. The very short description given by 

 Linnaeus states only that the body is grey, en- 

 tirely white beneath ; that it is of the size of a 

 large Cat, and has upright ears of the same co- 

 lour with the body ; a verruca or wart above the 

 eyes, on each cheek, and beneath the throat; and 

 that the tongue is ciliated at the edges. 



BENGAL FOX. 



Canis Berigalengis. C. subfuscus fascia fadei fongitudinali nigra, 



ortitis albis, pedibusfuhis, cauda apice nigra. 

 Dog of a light brown-colour, with a longitudinal black stripe 



down the face, white orbits, fulvous legs, and tail tipped with 



black. 

 Bengal Dog. Pennant Quadr. i.p. 260. 



THIS species inhabits Bengal. It is scarcely 

 half the size of the European Fox. The face is 

 cinereous; the body pale- brown; the legs fulvous ; 

 the tail tipped with black, and down the middle 

 of the face runs a black stripe. The spaces round 

 the eyes and the middle of the jaws are white. It 

 is said to feed chiefly on roots and berries.
