some varieties they are said to exist. As to 
Buiion's Black Couguar, we are of opinion, 
that he comprehends two very different animals 
under that description ; one of which, only, 
seems related to our Jaguarette. 
The account which Pennant gives of the 
animal figured is very short. He tells us, 
that the head, back, sides, fore part of the 
legs, and the tail, are covered with short and 
very glossy hair, of a dusky colour; some- 
times spotted with black, but generally 
plain. The upper lips are white ; and at the ' 
corner of the mouth, and sometimes on the 
chin, there is a black spot. There are long 
hairs above each eye, and long whiskers on 
the upper lip. The lower lip, throat, belly, 
and the inside of the legs, are whitish, or 
very pale ash-colour. The paws are white ; 
the ears are pointed. It grows to the size of 
a Heifer of a year old, and has vast strength 
in it's limbs. 
The above description was taken from 
two animals shewn in London some years 
ago.
