Page lOJ., F. MARMORATA.' — Blyth now is inclined to consider the Him- 

 alayan and Assamese race as distinct, but " not strongly specialized 

 apart from marmorata;" in this case, I presume, it will stand either as F, 

 charltoni, Gray, or F. ogilhyi, Hodgson. 



Page 112, No. 115. The dimensions of a fine jungle-cat, F. chaus, 

 killed lately at Amballa, are — Total length 39 inches ; height 18 inches ; 

 weight 18 fts. 



Page 113, No. 116. P. caracal. — I am assured that the red lynx 

 occurs in the N. W. Provinces and the Punjab, and that it has been killed 

 near Delhi, Lahore, and other places. 



Page 125, No. 123. Paeadoxurtis musakga. — Dr. Gray has an 

 elaborate synopsis of this genus and its allies, in the Proc. Zool. Society. 

 He makes the Indian race distinct from the Malayan one, and places it P. 

 hermaphrodiius, Pallas. He even places P. prehensilis, Buch. Hamilton, as 

 distinct, though he allows that he has not seen a specimen. Of the other 

 synonyms, he places P. Pallasii, and P. musanffoides, as synonyms of the 

 Malayan race, which, on very slight grounds, he classes as P. fasciatus, 

 Desmarest. He considers P. Crossii, from India, and P. duhius, from 

 Java, as distinct species ; and referring to P. quadriscripius of Hodgson, 

 states that is very like P. musanga. I am sfciU inclined to keep my 

 nomenclature. 



Page 128, No. 125. P. bondae. — Gray gives this as a true Para- 

 doocurui. He remarks that it may be known from P. Grayi by the 

 rigid harshness of the fur, and the dark color of the outside of the limbs. 



Page 128, No. 124. — P. Orayi. — This is a Paguma, and P. auratus, 

 Blainville, is a synonym. The genus Paguma is stated to differ from 

 Paradoxurus in the form of the flesh-tooth, which is short in Paguma, 

 elongate in Paradoxurus. 



The HerpestincB are placed by Gray quite distinct from the Paradoxuri, 

 being more digitigrade, and more nearly related to the ViverridcB. 



He divides them (Proc. Zool. Soc, 1864) into several genera, Herpestes 



' — Calogale — Calictis — Toeniogale — and Onychogale. Hbrpestes has the 



3 3 

 tail conical, with long hairs throughout, and the false molars - — -r- To this 



group belong No. 127, Hbrpestes geisbus; No. 129, Herpestes monti- 

 coLDs; and No. 132, H. fuscus. In this paper, Gray describes my //. 

 monticolus as H. Jerdoni, and this name wUl have the priority. He 

 states that it closely resembles H. ichneumon of Egypt. The dimensiona 

 of one iu the British Museum are — Head and body 19 inches; tail 17.
