 dling size, and of a reddish colour on the upper 

 parts, as if singed, and marked with white specks ; 

 the belly and chin whitish ; the tail very long. 

 The Linnasan description differs. Linnasus says the 

 animal is of the size of a large cat, and is black, 

 spotted with white : the hind part of the back fer-

 nose a white line, passing over each eye to the 

 ears in an arched direction: (this circumstance 

 was probably the reason of the Linnaean name

 animal:) the beard pointed, black above, white

 breast and throat white: from the rump across 

 the thighs a white line : tail long, straight, and 

 black : ears and feet of the same colour : canine 

 teeth large.
