THE WHITE-CHEEKED WEASEL. 
Mustela Harigula, 
This animal, which was mentioned by Mr. Pennant 
under this name, is described as black, with the chin 
and cheeks white; and the throat, back, and belly 
yellow. Its country is not known. We have but 
slender premises to establish the conclusion, and can 
therefore advert only to an apparent probability, that 
this and the foregoing species, as well as the zorra 
of Humboldt, a mephitic weasel, are the same. They 
are all distinguished by white marks about the head. 
THE cujA, Mustela Cuja; 
THE QUiQUi, Mustela Quiqui; 
Are mentioned by Molina ; but nothing seems to 
have occurred since Molina wrote to warrant liis 
treatment of these as distinct species : the former is 
considered as one of the varieties of the mephitic 
weasels; and the latter is probably a common 
weasel.
