3. Paradoxurus Bondar. 
Viverra Bondar. Blainv., in Desm. Mamm. p. 210. 
This species inhabits Bengal, where it is called the Musk-Cat. Its head and 
body measure 25, its tail 24,—making a total length of 49 inches. Dr. Hamitron’s 
reduced figure, from which this animal was described by M. de BLaiNVILLE, agrees 
with Gen. HARpwicKr’s drawing in almost every particular, except that in the 
former the nose is rather sharper, and the tail not quite so bushy as in the latter. 
4. Paradoxurus prehensilis. 
Ichneumon prehensilis. Ham., MSS. 
Viverra prehensilis. Blanv. in Desm. Mamm. p. 208. 
This species is only known from Dr. Hamitton’s drawing ; it appears distinct 
from any of the others, more especially in the bands of the sides of the back being 
formed of oblong nearly confluent spots, and in the length of the tail, which has a 
long white tip. The central dorsal streak is not very distinctly marked, and the 
dark line in the drawing may perhaps be intended for the shadow. 
5. Paradoxurus Musanga. 
Viverra Musanga. Horsf., Zool. Res. t. 5. 
Viverra fasciata. Desm., Mamm, p. 209 ? 
The very young animal is pale ash-coloured, with three distinct black dorsal 
bands, and the sides spotted. Its fur is very close and soft, mixed with scattered 
very rigid rather longer black hairs. 
6. PaRapoxuRus busius. Par. pallidé flavescenti-cinereus, pilis dorsi longior- 
ibus apice brunneis, subtus flavescenti-albidus ; dorso fasciis centralibus tribus, 
lateribusque maculis brunneis inconspicuis ; capite, auriculis pilosis, pedibusque 
eastaneis ; caudd preter imam basin negro-brunned : macule utringue adnasum, 
alterius supra genas, fascieque interauricularis transverse pilis albo-apiculatis: 
This species is described from a young specimen sent to the British Museum by 
Dr. Horsfield : it may be only a variety of Par. Musanga, but cannot be the general 
state of the young of that species, which is described above. It is probably the 
Javanese variety of the Musang described and figured by Dr. Horsfield. 
7. Paradoxurus hermaphroditus. 
Viverra hermaphrodita. Pallas, in Schreb. Sdugth. p. 426. 
The description of the glandular fold between the anus and penis proves this 
species, which is only known by Pallas’s description, to be a Paradoxurus. It 
appears to resemble the preceding, but differs in having the entire throat black, 
and in its black dorsal bands.

tus, infrd pallidior ; dorso fascid latiusculd maculisque parvis utringue biseri-

brought from India, and presented by Mr. Buchanan,
