from these drawings, which were coloured, 
he composed a description of the Ocelot, lie 
likewise gives a kind of history of it from the 
waitings and information of Gregoire De Bo- 
livar. I have made these remarks Avith the 
view to remove a difficulty which had deceived 
all the naturalists as well as mvself. This 
difficulty is, to ascertain whether the tw^o ani^ 
mals drawMi hy Recchi, the first under the 
name of Tlatlauhqui-Ocelotl, and the second 
under that of Tlacoozlotl, Tlalocelotl,. and 
afterwards described by Fabri as distinil spe- 
cies, are not the same animal. Though the 
figures are pretty similar, they were regarded 
as distin6l animals, because their names, and 
even the descriptions of them, were different. 
I at that time imagined, that the first might 
be the same widi the Jaguar, and therefore 
gave it the Mexican name Tlatlauhqui-Oce- 
lotl, which I now perceive did not belong to 
it: and, since I had an opportunity of seeing, 
both the Male and Female, 1 am persuaded 
that the two described by Fabri are only the 
same animal; of which the first is the Male, 
and the second the Female. Nothing less 
than an examination of the Male and Female 
together, could liave enabled us to dete6l this 
error.
