orbits rather small, incomplete behind. The' skull is very unlike 

 that of Felts viverrina.

Pardalina Warwickii. 



There is in the British Museum a Cat that was formerly alive in 

 the Surrey Zoological Gardens, and was there called the Himalayan 

 Cat, ^nd which, in the ' List of Mammalia in the British Museum,' 

 published in 1842, 1 called Leopardus }iimal.ayanus. This animal is 

 figured, from the specimen at the Surrey Zoological Gardens, in Jar- 

 dine's ' Ifaturahst's Library' as Felis hlmalaynnus, Warwick. The 

 figure is by no means a characteristic one. The Cat has not been 

 brought from Himalaya by any of the numerous sportsmen and col- 

 lectors that have searched that country. It is not known' to Mr. 

 Blyth, nor to any other Indian zoologist to whom I have shown it ; 

 indeed Mr. Blyth states that he believes it to be a South American 

 Cat. 



The examination of the skull shows that it forms a group by itself; 

 and in my paper in Proc. Zool. Soc. 1867, p. 266, I formed for it a 

 genus under the name oi Pardalina. As the species has not been welt 

 described, I have given a description of the type specimen.
