1863.J SPECIES OF THE GENUS FELIS. 185 



Hab. South-east Asia, from Tibet to the great islands of the Ar- 

 chipelago ; but perhaps not Borneo. 



Varies much in its markings, though scarcely more so than F. 

 pardalis and other spotted Cats ; while the varieties are linked 

 together by intermediate specimens. The most permanent of them 

 would seem to be that designated^'at>anew5«5, from Java and the Ma- 

 layan peninsula, which approximates to F. viverrina in colouring, 

 except that the under parts are pure white, black-spotted. 



12. Felis jerdoni, nobis, n. s. 



Very similar in its markings to the preceding species ; but the 

 size of the full-grown animal much smaller — that of F. rubiginosa ; 

 and the ground-hue of the upper parts grey, untinged with fulvous. 



Hab. Peninsula of India. I first detected an adult male and a 

 kitten of this species in the Museum at Madras, and find that there 

 is an adult specimen also in the British Museum. 



13. Felis rubiginosa, Is. Geoffroy ; figured by Belanger. 



Hab. Peninsula of India, Coromandel side. (In the British Mu- 

 seum is a specimen labelled from Malacca, collected by Capt. Charlton ; 

 but this I very strongly suspect to be a mistake.) 



14. Felis PLANiCEPS, Vigors. 



fl^ai. Malayan Peninsula ; Sumatra; and Borneo. 



15. Felis aurata, Temminck. 



F. temminckii, Vigors (young). 



F. moormensis et murmensis, Hodgson. , 



" Fire Cat " of Burma 1 (Mason). 



Hab. South-east Himalaya ; Burma (?) ; Malayan Peninsula ; 

 Sumatra ; and probably Borneo. A Nipalese specimen in the India 

 Museum is very distinctly and conspicuously spotted. 



Lyncine series. 



16. Felis TORauATA, F. Cuvier ; Sykes?. 



F. ornata, Gray (Hardwicke's 111. Ind. Zool, ; very bad). 



F. servalina, of Jardine (nee Ogilby, nee Chaus servalinus, Gray). 



F. huttoni, Blyth. 



F. ad ox am, Pallas (auct. Gray). 



Leopardus inconspicuus, Gray. 



Hab. The desert region of North-west India ; Dukhun ; Hazara 

 country. 



The "Desert Cat" of West India (vide Journ. As. Soc. B. xxv. 

 p. 441). Colonel Sykes' s specimen has much the aspect of a Do- 

 mestic Cat, perhaps semiwild. 



1 7. Felis manul, Pallas. 



F. nigripecttis, Hodgson. 



Hab. Tibet and East Asia (Amurland).
