478 CLASS MAMMALIA. 



natives is correct, and the several figures are not mere indi- 

 vidual differences. 



. " These that follow bear a still more decided appearance 

 of specific distinction, and have been or may be named. 



" The F. Catenata, is an undoubted species, of the size 

 of a Wild Cat. The legs are in proportion shorter than 

 those of the before-described ; the head and body heavier. 

 The nose, forehead, under the eyes, arms, shoulders, back, 

 rump, hind legs, and tail, are of a reddish-yellow colour ; 

 the temples ochery ; the cheeks, throat, belly, and inside 

 of the legs white. Several rows of black spots from the 

 ears converge on the forehead. There is a single streak 

 from the outer angle of the eye to below the ear. On the 

 shoulder, back, side, rump, and hams, there are long chain- 

 like streaks of black and reddish-brown, intermixed ; the 

 belly and throat have black streaks, and the tail has im- 

 perfect black annuli. 



" Of this I have observed two specimens, one in Bullock's 

 former collection, the other in the Museum at Berlin, which 

 I examined with Professor Lichtenstein, and which proving 

 by the teeth to be an old specimen, convinced him of the 

 reality of its being a distinct species, and not a young Oce- 

 lot as he had previously conjectured. 



" Felts Macrourus of Prince Maximilian, of Neuwied. 

 This is about the size of the former, but higher on the legs ; 

 the neck is long and thick ; the face very short ; the tail 

 nearly a fourth longer than the former. The face, neck, 

 back, shoulders, rump, and hams are ochery gray, streaked 

 and marked with | rows of large black spots, describing 

 somewhat regular figures. The tail is semi-annulated, with 

 the tip black. Two streaks under each eye run to the angle 

 of the jaw, and one above to the ear. There are some spots 

 on the forehead and cheeks, and others still larger on the 

 paws.
