MAMMALIA CARNIVORA .

Delessert gave a sketch of the Canis primcBvus in Souv. d’un Voy. 
dans rinde, p. 16, tab. 2. He killed one at Gengy, on the coast of 
Coromandel, and saw them often in the Nilgherries, hunting in companies 
of three and four. 
Canis Azarce was found by Bridges in the vaUeys of the east side of 
the Andes of Chili, between 34° and 35°. It seems to ditfer from the 
Great Fox of Chili, called Culpeo, by having coarser ears. Ann. of 
Nat. Hist. ix. p. 509. Waterhouse remarked (p. 512), that this Fox 
differed from that figured in the Zoology of the Voyage of the Beagle, 
in having no black on the chin and corners of the mouth. 
H YANINA. — A comparison of the specific differences by 
which the Ilyci&na hrunnea is distinguished from the Hycena 
striata and crocuta^ in the construction of the skull and teethj 
has appeared by the reporter. 
It is to be found in the Abh. der Miinchn. Akadem. iii. p. 607, and is 
accompanied by a plate of the skull of the H. hrunnea, of the size of 
nature, with a representation of the canine and molar teeth of the other 
species. 
Felina. — Gray has enriched his genus Leopardm^ with 
four new species (Ann. of Nat. Hist. x. p. 260). 
Two species are from Central America, and have been named by him 
Leopardus griseus and pictus ; the third, L. Ellioti, is from Madras ; 
the fourth, L. Horsjieldii, from Bhotan. Neither their dimensions are 
given, nor a comparison with known species ; hence a certain recognition 
of them is impossible ; and I content myself with merely naming them. 
At the Swiss meeting, Bruno introduced a discussion about a South Ame- 
rican Cat, which is distinguished from the Felis pardalis by its smaller 
size, and the want of oblique stripes from the shoulders to the haunch ; 
and from the F. macrura, by a thicker head and a weak and a shorter 
tail : he called it F. pardaloides. Pictet supposed that it may, perhaps, 
be a variety of F. macrura. (Isis, 1842, p. 257.) 
Pinnipedia. — ^Riippell lias given a description of a young 
Stemmatopus cristatus in the Mus. Senck. iii. p. 134. 
There is a notice, in the Rev. Zool. 1842, p. 401, of a living Seal 
taken in Corsica, where they are abundant.
