THIS species is about twice the size of a large 

 Cat, and is a native of North America. Its co- 

 lour is a bright bay, obscurely marked with small 

 dusky spots ; the upper and under lip, throat, and 

 whole under sides of the body and limbs, are 

 white. From beneath each eye three curved 

 blackish stripes pass down the cheeks : the upper 

 part of the inside of the fore legs is marked by 

 two black bars: the upper part of the tail is 

 marked with four or five dusky bars, and that 

 next the tip is black : the ears are sharp-pointed 

 and tufted with long black hairs. This animal 

 was first described by Guldenstedt. The hair is 

 shorter and smoother than that of the common 

 Lynx.
