#411 (416). FELiDAE 19 Gray, 1821, London Med. Repos., v. 15, 302.— Cats, 
lions, lynxes, tigers, etc. Head short, rounded; digitigrade, toes 5-4 with 
1^ The subdivision of Felis ' by various authors presents such divergent views that the problem is pre- 
sented to recognize as many of the resulting groups as possible without being too inconsistent. In general, 
in cases of transitional classification of this nature the more conservative course seems to be to hold to broad 
genera but to recognize subgenera. There seems little room for doubt that #415 Cynailurus separates from 
#413 Felis • very distinctly, on basis of the claws. Regarding a number of the other genera there appears 
to be more room for difference of opiniofl. #413n Lynx is recognized as generically distinct by many authors, 
but Pocock's key brings it close to #413to Felis 
For purpose of this catalog, and holding an open mind as to eventual future developments, the most 
practical course seems to be to use Felis i in a broad generic sense and to recognize the other divisions as 
subgeneric. To emphasize the point that Pocock recognizes these subgenera as generic, the subgeneric 
names adopted by him as generic are here placed in heavy type, instead of italics. Synonymy is given 
under the names in Pocock's key. 
For monograph of the felidae see Lydekker, 1896a, A Hand-book to the Carnivora, pt. 1, cats, civets, 
mungooses, London, 1-312, pis. 1-32. 
Pocock (1917, Arm. Mag. Nat. Hist., v. 20 (199), Nov., 329-350) has divided the felidae into 3 subfamilies 
and numerous genera. Miller, 1924o, combines the classifications of Cabrera, 1911, Pocock, 1917, and Allen, 
1919, but he retains only as "groups" of the genus Felis many of the genera recognized by Allen and Pocock. 
For practical purposes these groups of Miller are essentially subgenera. For purposes of this Key-Cata- 
log, the genus Felis is adopted in a broad sense with Pocock's genera and Miller's "groups" inserted as 
subgenera, but brought into prominence by the use of heavy tj'pe. 
The following key leads to the genera and synonymy recognized by Pocock, 1917, and will be found very 
useful in tracing species, regardless of the point whether one agrees with Pocock or not in respect to the 
taxonomic grades ascribed to the units he recognizes. See #413a.
