HUNTING LEOPARD. 
account of Dr. Shaw's Hunting Leopard, with 
which he accompanies BufFon's figure of the 
Jaguar, or Leopard : and of which, it is sin-= 
gular enough, that Buffon says, " it differs- 
from the Leopard by the form of it's spots^ 
and still more from the Jaguar; yet adds, 
that " it appears, however, to have a greater 
relation to the Jaguar, than to the Leopard." 
He undoubtedly means, in other respects ; but 
he ought to have named them. 
'* The Hunting Leopard/' says Dr. Shaw 
—after giving as synonimes, the Felis Jubata, 
of Linnseus ; the Jaguar or Leopard, and 
the Guepard of BufFon ; the Felis Jubata, of 
Schreber ; and the Hunting Leopard, of Pen- 
nant — is about the size of a large Grey- 
hound, and of a long m.ake, with narrow 
chest, and long legs. It is a native of India, 
wliere it is said to be tamed, and used for the 
chase of Antelopes and other animals ; being 
carried into the field chained and hooded, and, 
at the proper time, is loosed, when it is said to 
steal along the ground at first, concealing it- 
self, till it gains a proper advantage, and then 
to dart on the animal it pursues, \vith several 
repeated springs. If it happens to miss it's.
