who records examples from Jujuy and Tucuman, using 
for it the name of F. guigna, Mol. But Molina’s animal, 
fist described from “ Chili,’ was afterwards identified by 
Philippi * with a cat from Valdivia, in the southern part of 
that country, which may therefore be taken as its type 
locality. Now it is inconceivable that, while on the eastern 
side of the Andes a northern and a southern form are found, 
separated at about lat. 32°S., the Valdivian one, at nearly 
40° 8., should be the same as the northern one of the two 
eastern forms. On the other hand, it is by no means 
unlikely that F. gu‘gna and F. Geoffroyt will prove to be 
the same, as in the south the Andes do not present the same 
faunistic barrier that they do further north. 
Fapale fluviceps, sp. n. 
General characters of HH. penicillata, with which it shares 
the size, grizzled body-colour, with its tricolor fur, the sup- 
pressed banding of the back, the distinct ringing of the tail, 
and the whitish or yellowish hands and feet. But the whole

the preauricular tufts are practically absent, being replaced 
by long tufts of yellowish-white hairs situated on the inner 
aspect of the ear-conch. Throat yellowish. Middle line of 
belly and anal region black. 
Dimensions of the type (measured in the flesh) :— 
Head and body 248 millim.; tail 298; hind foot 65; 
ear 23.
