four black bands on the side of the neck, while the Civet has only 

 three , the tail is marked with eight or nine rings ; there is a white 

 spot under the eye, and the muzzle is grey. The bag which con- 

 tains the odoriferous substance is in most respects similar to that 

 of the Civet.

The Rasse is found in the mountainous forests of Java, where it 

 preys on birds and the smaller quadrupeds. The odoriferous sub- 

 stance; the dedes of the Javanese, or Jibet of the Malays, is 

 collected periodically, in the same manner as that obtained from 

 the Civet, already described. This substance, which, according to 

 Dr. Horsfield, agrees with the civet afforded by the V. civetta and 

 Zibet ta, in colour, consistence, and odour, is a very favorite 

 perfume among the Javanese, and is applied both to their dresses, 

 and by means of various unguents and mixtures of flowers, to 

 their persons.
