This species is described from a skin in a very bad state in 

 the British Museum, which Mr. Bartlett, from whom we re- 

 ceived it, believed came from Siberia. Mr. Daniel Elliot 

 (P. Z. S. 1871, p. 758), without giving any authority, calls 

 it a species from " '^oxth.-ioestern Siberia." The markings 

 of the skin are difficult to make out from its state ; but I 

 liav^e no doubt Mr. Wolf studied it very particularly when 

 he made the figure. The figure is very like that of Felis 

 chinensis ; but the spots on the back are not so numerous 

 and small, and those on the underside are large and distinct. 

 Otherwise I should have considered it a specimen of that 

 species. 



Mr. D. Elliot considers this skin of a cat the same as 

 tlie one that Radde collected in Amurland, in Eastern 

 Siberia, and figured and described in his ' Reisen im Siiden 

 von Ost-Sibirien ' under the name of Felis undhta^ Desmarest, 

 and F. minuta^ Temminck, from Java ; and he considers F. 

 chinensis^ from China, the same species. Radde's figure is 

 very unsatisfactory. It would be desirable to receive speci- 

 mens from the Amurland to see if the Chinese and Siberian 

 specimens are the same, or how they differ, and if the same as 

 the skin in the British Museum that Mr. D. Elliot has named 

 and figured.

Felis Jerdoni was named by Blyth in the 'Proc. Zool. Soc' 

 1863, p. 185, from two specimens in the museum at Madras 

 and an adult specimen in the British Museum. In the 

 Catalogue I have adopted Blyth's name for this specimen, 

 which was received from the India House, and probably came
