690 DR. J. E. GRAY ON THE URSID&. [Dec. 13, 
(called “'Tinheuny”’ by the Chinese). A flat skin in the British 
Museum. 
This differs from the Japan Bear in the white marks on the chest 
being large and distinct. 
Bears are often tamed by the Chinese, and taught to dance and 
play tricks, as in India and Europe.
