Leopardus japonensis was described by Gray, J. E. (P. Z. S., 1S62, p. 262) as a new 

 species from a specimen which was said to have come from Japan. Scliter identified that 

 species with Felis pardits Linn, which occurs in Africa, Asia Minor, Persia, Bulchistan, 

 India, Assum, Ceylon, Burma, Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java and China (see Schtcr, Cat. 

 Mamm. Ind. Mus., 1891, p. 218). I consider it exceedingly doubtful that a leopard was 

 ever found living wild in this country.
