Obs. The Wombat described by Bass and Flinders is said 

 to have six cutting and two canine-teeth in each jaw, from 

 which Illiger formed his genus Amblotis. Is it different ' 

 from the above ? 



Since the S3'nopsis of Felinse was printed, M. Temminck's monograph 

 of the e^eniis came to hand. We are unable therefore to avail ourselves of 

 the result of that eminent zoologist's observations, further, than by insert- 

 ing here a marginal notice of the several species Avhich, on repeated in- 

 spection and comparison, he admits into the genus. These are, 1. F.Leo ; 

 2. F. Tigris ; 3. F. Juhata ; 4. F. Leopardus, (apparently our Panther.) 

 5. F. Pardus, (apparently our Leopard.) 6. F. Macrocelis, (the Nebulosa 

 of Hamilton Smith.) 7- F. Serval and Capensis ; S.F. Cervaria, (pro- 

 bably the Siberian Lynx figured in this vvork.) 9. F. Borealis, (probably 

 the Canada Lynx.) 10. F. Lynx ; W.F.Parditia, (the Loup Cervier of 

 Perrault.) 12. F. Carac(d ; 13. F.Aiirata, (an inedited species, bay-red 

 above, sprinkled with little spots on the sides ; tail half as long as the bodj', 

 with a brown band down the upper side; tip black.) 14. F. Chaus ;
