JAGUARETTE. 
In these diiFerent accounts, there appears 
such incongruity blended with resemblances, 
that it is scarcely possible to ascertain the fa6ls. 
Pennant gives a decided description of 
the two animals which he a6lually be-: 
held, and one of these is delineated ; so 
that, thus far, we have certainty to guide | 
us. It is, however, to be regretted, that a 
man of his knowledge should have com- 
bined the two descriptions ; instead of pre- 
senting them separately, and referring us, in 
particular, to the animal represented in his. 
figure. They unquestionably varied, though 
perhaps slightly ; because one had " a black 
spot on the chin :" how far they might dif- 
fer in other respects, we are quite in the 
dark ; nor are we informed whether they 
were male and female, or both of the same 
sex, and which it was. That the teeth, anc 
claws, were not minutely noticed, thougli 
usually among the first obje£ts of a na- 
turalist's enquiry ; may be accounted for b^ 
the probable ferocity of the animals, which 
might render too intimate an acquaintance 
with those particular parts not very desir-
