156 PROF. ST.-GEORGE MIVART ON THE ZLUROIDEA. [Feb. 7, 
the accessory tubercle on that ridge larger ; D4 is the largest 
deciduous tooth, and nearly as extended antero-posteriorly as is the 
D-3 . finally, poz bas a larger talon, which by itself constitutes nearly 
half the tooth. 
The external form of the Genet is figured by Buffon, and three 
kinds (‘de Barbarie,” “de Sénégal,” and ‘ panthérine’’) by 
F. Cuvier in his ‘ Planches des Mamm.’ De Blainville (Ostéogra- 
hie,’ Viverra) gives the skull (plate viii.), details of the axial 
skeleton (plate ix.), and of the appendicular sketeton (plates x. 
and xi.). 
A very important difference between Genetta and Viverra consists 
in the absence in the former of the pouch or sac for storing the

secretion of the scent-gland. Instead of this I found, in a female 
Genetta tigrina, only a shallow cutaneous fold or longitudinal median 
depression. This groove or fold extended from the small orifice of 
the vagina towards, but not nearly to, the anus. From this median 
superficial depression two longitudinal grooves extended forwards 
and outwards on either side, whereof the two posterior were the 
larger. Beneath these grooves were two scent-glands, the product 
of which could be forced (by squeezing) through a multitude of 
minute pores into the depressed parts of the folds—the hinder 
rather than the anterior of the two pairs of diverging ones. Similar 
glands and folds were found by M. Chatin in the male of Genetta.
