9. Parapoxurus Crossit. Par. supra nigrescens, pilis plumbeis nigro-apicu- 
latis, infra flavescens, pilis albo-apiculatis ; auriculis apice nudiusculis ; facie 
auriculis externé ad basin, pedibus, caudeque dodrante apicali nigro-brunneis ; 
maculd rotundé palidd ad nasum utrinque, alterdque minore sub oculos ; front® 
Slavescente. 
The length of the head and body is 21 inches, of the nose to the front of th 
ear 35, of the tail 16, of the fore-foot to the elbow-joint 4%, and the distance from 
the back of the fore-foot to the front of the hind-, 8 inches. The species is de-

presented by Mr. Cross to the British Museum, where both the skin and skeleton 
are preserved.

11. Paravoxurus Hamitrtonit. Par. auriculis pilosis ; dorso griseucinerascente- 
pilis nigro-apiculatis intermixtis, seriebus sex vel septem macularum rotunda- 
rum nigrarum ; facie dorso concolore, strigdangustd nigra inter, alterdque utrin- 
que supri, oculos ; fascid nuchali medid nigra, laterali utringue breviore pallid- 
brunned ; pedibus dorso concoloribus ; caudd corpore sesquilongiore, rufescenti, 
brunned, annulis angustis subequalibus nigris versus apicem remotioribus. 
This species is described from a living specimen in the Surrey Zoological Gar- 
dens, which has been in Mr. Cross’s possession about two years.

13. PARADOXURUS TRIVIRGATUS. Par. nigrescenti-griseus, infra griseus ; ca- 
pite saturatiore ; dorso fasciis tribus longitudinalibus mediis nigrescentibus , 
pedibus cauddque corpore longiore nigris ; fascie immaculata. 
Viverra trivirgata, Reinw., Mus. Leyd. 
This species is described from a specimen, in the Leyden Museum, sent from the 
Moluccas. The teeth agree with those of the genus in every particular, except 
that the cheek-teeth are rather shorter. 
14. Paradoxurus ? binotatus. 
Viverra binotata. Reinw., Gray, Spic. Zool. p. 9. 
Mr. Gray referred this animal to the genus Paradoxurus with some doubt, he not 
having seen the teeth. Its walk, however, is truly plantigrade. The habitat of 
Ashantee, given to it in the Leyden Museum, may be questioned : it was obtained 
from an old Dutch collection, in which it is possible that the localities were not 
strictly preserved. 
To this enumeration Mr. Gray added the indication of an animal known only by 
a rough sketch brought by Mr. Fmlayson from Siam, and deposited in the Library 
of the East India Company. This he proposed to call Paradoxurus Finlaysonii, 
and described as being pale-brown ; with a band across the middle of the muzzle, 
and another across the orbits (including the eyes, and expanding on the back of 
the cheek), the ears, and three continuous narrow lines along the middle of the 
back, blackish brown ; the feet blackish ; and the tail cylindrical. He also consi- 
dered it probable that the Civette de Malacca of Sonnerat, Voy. t. 91, the Viverra 
Mailaccensis of Gmelin belonged to this genus, with which it agreed in several 
particulars of its mode of colouring, although it differed in having a black
