 V. ccerulescens are quoted from Kalm and the ' Fauna 

 Suecica.' 



Arctic Fox.

Genus 12. Felis. p. 41.

Species : 



1. LEO. p. 41, Felis. 



Linnean reference: Syst. Nat. (6) p. 4, no. 1, where the 

 quotation runs "Leo. Dod. gall. t. 1 & 17." The plate 1 

 referred to appears to be that in Mem. Acad. Sci. Paris, iii. 

 1666-1699, p. 1, pi. i., publ. 1733, where there is an account 

 of the dissection of four lions and three lionesses. 

 No type locality available. 



2. TIGRIS, p. 41. Felis. 



Linnean reference : Syst. Nat. (6) p, 4, no, 2, where two 



quotations are given : — 

 Ray, Quadr, p. 165; Bont. Jav. p. 53. 

 Taking the first of these, we find a description which mixes up 

 the Jaguar with the Tiger, but Linne's " Habitat in Asia " may 

 be taken as restricting the name to the Tiger. 



Later revisers of the races of Tigers, of whom Fitzinger and 

 Matschie may be specially quoted, have restricted F. tigris to 

 India proper, and particularly Bengal. 



3. PAROUS, p. 41. Felis. 



Linnean reference : Syst. Nat. (6) p. 4, no. 3, whei-e we find 

 Ray, Quadi\ p. 166, and Alp. Aegypt. p. 237. 

 Ray gives no indication of locality, but passing to Alpinus we 

 find an account of Leopards seen at Cairo and Alexandria alive in 

 captivity. The account is, no doubt, partly based on Hunting 

 Leopards (Ci/nceliit'ios), but, none the less, may be accepted as 

 giving for the 



Type locality : Egypt.
