OCELOT. 
Tiie upper parts of the body'are marked with long 
incarvated stripes of black, inclosing a richer 
or deeper tinge of tawny than the ground- 
colour : so as to compose markings of a dif- 
ferent hue, bordered with black ; the insldes be- 
ing also sprinkled with small black spots. The 
belly, and the entire limbs, are marked beauti- 
fully with numerous small round spots ; and 
the tail is striped and spotted similar to the bodv, 
■ The Female is prodigiously like the Male in 
lier general form and markings ; but the ground- 
colour is totally difFerent. Instead of a ricii 
tawny, it is of an obscure cinereous colour, 
palest on the legs and belly. The stripes aivl 
spots are black ; but the insides of the torrncr 
are white. Pennant, we apprehend, may be 
numbered among those naturalists hinted ac 
by BufFon, who have been deceived by this 
circumstance. His Cinereous Cat, which lie 
states to be about the size of the Ocelot, seems 
tons merely our Female. It's being stated as 
an inhabitant of Guinea, does not induce us 
to change this opinion ; as he is the only one 
who thus describes the animal, and we have fre- 
quently met with the typographical error of 
Guinea for Guiana.
