SECTION VI. CYNALOPEX. 
Tue 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.
