Blotched Cat. Fennant Quadr. i.p, 298. 
This animal was described by Mr. Vosmaer, 
from a specimen shewn at Amsterdam. It is of 
the size of a Cat, and of mild manners. The 
body is of a cinereous brown-colour, with a black 
stripe from head to tail, and spotted on the sides 
with brown: the tail is annulated, and has a 
brown tip. Mr. Pennant, in the last edition of 
his History of Quadrupeds, refers this animal to 
the Genus Felis, and, indeed, from Mr. Vosmaer s 
figure, it should seem to have, at least, equal af- 
finity to that genus as to the present. Mr. Schre- 
ber, however, makes it a Viverra.
