SURINAM DOG. 
Ganis Thous. C. cauda deflexa Iwvi, corpore suhgriseo, suhtus 
albo. Lin. Syst. Nat. 
Greyish Dog, white beneath, with deflected tail. 
Surinam Dog. Fennant Quadr, i.jo. 26'/. 
This species is said by Linnaeus to inhabit Su- 
rinam. It seems to have been unknown to other 
naturahsts. The very short description given by 
Linnaeus states only that the body is grey, en- 
tirely white beneath ; that it is of the size of a 
large Cat^ and has upright ears of the same co- 
lour with the body ; a verruca or wart above the 
eyes, on each cheeky and beneath the throat ; and 
that the tongue is ciliated at the edges. 
BENGAL FOX. 
Canis Bengalensis. C. subfmcus fascia faciei longitudinali nigra, 
orbitis albis, pedibusfuhis, cauda apice nigra. 
Dog of a light brown-colour, with a longitudinal black stripe 
down the face, white orbits, fulvous legs, and tail tipped with 
black. 
Bengal Dog. Tennant Quadr. i,p. 260. 
This species inhabits Bengal. It is scarcely 
half the size of the European Fox. The face is 
cinereous; the body pale- brown; the legs fulvous ; 
the tail tipped with black, and down the middle 
of the face runs a black stripe. The spaces round 
the eyes and the middle of the jaws are white. It 
is said to feed chiefly on roots and berries.
