'' Very similar in general appearance to V. zibetha, except that its head 



is more massive and has a swollen appearance about the muzzle. It does 



not smell nearly so strong of Civet as zibetha. I have never seen any

The species P. leucomystax outwardly closely resembles P. grayi, but 

 it has a striking white patch on the face, between the eye and the ear, 

 which differentiates it at a glance. 



" Very plentiful inland from Victoria Point, seeming to be even more 

 numerous than P. hermaphroditus . In common with all species of Para- 

 doxurus, this animal is a great ratter, but unlike the small Felidce, it is 

 seldom particularly destructive to poultry.
