The size of this animal is that of the Fells Javanensis ; its habit more 

 slender, the tail and neck proportionally elongate. The ground colour 

 is grey, with a very slight admixture of tawny ; the bands and spots of 

 the head, back, neck, throat, abdomen, and thighs, are of a deep black 

 colour; the superior longitudinal bands resembling those of the Felis 

 Javanensis. The ground colour of the throat and abdomen is nearly 

 white ; the lower flanks being marked with a faint tawny longitudinal 

 streak. The cheeks are streaked with two parallel longitudinal lines, at 

 the termination of which follows a transverse lunar mark which passes 

 with a bold curve to the angle of the mouth, near which a very narrow 

 band crosses the throat. 



The sides of the neck appear marked with two broad waving bands, 

 at the termination of which stands an oblong regularly transverse band. 

 The neck underneath is nearly immaculate. The shoulder and flanks 

 exhibit irregular, diversified marks, the anterior oblong, the posterior 

 angular ; these are of a mixed tawny and black colour, and individually 

 bear above or posteriorly a broad dash of a saturated black colour : they 

 are scattered over the sides without any regular longitudinal disposition ; 

 but they have generally an oblique direction, 



The abdomen is marked throughout with uniform oval spots; the 

 anterior thighs within exhibiting one, the posterior thighs tvvo broad 

 black bands. The rump and thighs are marked externally with 

 roundish or oblong spots. The tail above, to within about an inch 

 of the tip, has uniform roundish spots which posteriorly are arranged 

 in regular transverse bands. The head above and ears agree generally 

 with those members in the Felis Javanensis.
