That sagacious observer^ Mr. George Edwards, 
so well known by his admirable illustrations of 
Natural History, seems to have been the first de- 
scriber of this species. Its size is that of a large 
cat. The face, breast^ and whole under parts 
are of a SAvarthy flesh colour, and nearly naked 
or but very slightly covered with hair. The 
head, upper parts, and tail are covered Avith 
longish black hair. The head is round : the nose 
rather sharp : the hair above the eyes long, and 
vmiting with the eye-brows : that on the temples 
partly covering the ears: the paws are covered 
v/ith a black soft skin : the tail is longer than the 
body. It is said to be a native of Ceylon and 
Guinea.
