of mane; while that in Schreber’s work is distin- 
guished by one of considerable length. 
There scarcely seems a doubt, that there are two 
distinct species, agreeing in general description, par- 
ticularly in the want of the retractile power of the 
claws; both of which are used for field sports in 
India. The opposite figure appears to be the real 
felis jubata ; it is from a specimen which was in the 
Tower. 
This animal is conveyed in a carriage to the field 
hooded ; and when the game is started, the hood is 
taken off, and it is sent out in pursuit. It follows 
by leaps or bounds ; and if unsuccessful in taking 
its prey, after a few efforts, declines the pursuit, and 
returns to its keeper. It is said to be found in Africa 
as well as in Asia, but we suspect strongly, that the 
maned hunting-leopard is proper to Africa alone ; 
that the following species is found in Asia, and that, 
as they have been hitherto so generally confounded, 
both species have been described as one, inhabiting 
these two continents.
