HUNTING LEOPARD. 
prey, it returns to the call of it's master. The 
specimen of this animal in the Leverian Mu- 
seum is of a pale fulvous yellow, with the 
cheeks, neck, and breast, white : the body- 
whitish beneath ; with few obscure dusky 
spots. All the upper parts are very thickly 
spotted with small and perfectly round spots, 
with still smaller ones intermixed : the spots 
are largest on the outside of the thighs^ 
where the smaller intermixed ones are scarce 
larger than peas, or proportionally less than 
on the other parts : the nose is black : frora 
each eye is a blackish line, running down to 
the corners of the mouth : the tail is spotted 
like the body, but towards the tip are two or 
three obscure bands ; and the tip itself is black- 
ish: the insides of the legs are thickly spotted. 
There seems to be no distin£t appearance of 
a mane in this specimen ; neither is there the 
slightest appearance of it in Buffon's plate, 
which is here represented ; but it should be 
observed, that the spots in this figure seem 
much less accurately rounded than those in 
the Leverian specimen, as well as less nume- 
rous in proportion. In Mr. Sch rebel's figure 
of this animal, the mane seems extremely con- 
spicuous."
