ZOOLOGICAL POSITION 15 



22. The OCELOT-LIKE CAT (F. pardinoides), a 

 small species from Bogota, South America. 



23. The YAGUARUNDI (F. yaguarundi). This

 It is found from the Rio Grande to Brazil. 



24. The EYRA (F. eyra), similar in form to 

 the last, but usually of a reddish-tan or brown-

 range is about the same. 



25. The COLOCOLLO (F. colocollo), a whitish- 

 gray species, about the size of the common cat, 

 with black stripes on the back, sides, and side 

 of the face ; an inhabitant of Guiana and north- 

 western South America. 



26. The RUSTY-SPOTTED CAT (F. rubiginosa), 

 a graceful, pretty little cat of a greenish gray,
