This genus is peculiar for having the same form of the nose-bones 

 as the Lynxes.

Hah. Nepal; Daq'eeling (C^rZion). 



The spotting of this species is rather different from thai of F. 

 marmorattts ; they may be only local varieties. 



The separation of the nasals from the maxUlaries is uniform in all 

 the six specimens of this skull in the British-Museum collection.

Hah. Asia. 



There are small-sized Spotted Asiatic Cats which have a long head, 

 with an elongated skuU, and complete bony orbits. The skulls are 

 longest and the orbits more developed in the Felis viverrina of Ben- 

 nett and the Felis planiceps of Vigors and Horsfield. But, besides 

 these, Felis ruhiginosa of I. Geoffroy, in Bdlanger's ' Voyage,' and the 

 Cat which I described under the name of Leopardus EUioti in the 

 ' Annals and Mag. of Nat. Hist.' for 1837 (x. p. 260) have a rather 

 elongated skull and complete orbits, though Mr. Blyth regards F. 

 Ellioti as only a variety of his F. hengalensis.
