Cams lupus var. ater And. and Bach., Quad. N. Amer., 1851, 
vol. 2, p. 126. 
Type locality. North America. 
The southern black wolf is now probably restricted to the ever¬ 
glades of Florida, where it still occurs in some places (see Cory, 
Hunting and Fishing in Florida, p. 345), unless the wolf of southern 
Louisiana be the same, where they are still comparatively common 
in some of the large tracts of swamp. 
It is of the utmost importance that specimens of the Florida wolf 
should be procured before it becomes entirely extinct, and I believe 
Mr. Cory is now making every effort to obtain some.

Ixynx ruffus floridanus Rhoads, Proc. Acad. nat. sci. Phila., 1897, 
p. 32, foot-note. 
Type locality. Florida. 
The Florida lynx is a common animal all over Florida and extends 
west to Louisiana and most probably north throughout eastern 
Georgia. It is a matter of great regret to me that Mr. Brown failed 
to secure specimens of lynx in Georgia, but undoubtedly X. flori¬ 
danus is the form found there. 
L. floridanus is very different, possibly specifically so, from 
X. ruffus typicus, and it would be of great interest to see a series 
from localities connecting the geographic ranges of the two. 
I have specimens from New Berlin, Micco, Oak Lodge, and Citrus 
County, Florida, and from Burbridge, Louisiana. 
Felis concolor floridana Cory. 
Lei is concolor floridana Cory, Hunting and fishing in Florida, 
Boston, 1896, p. 109. 
Type locality. Region north of Lake Okeechobee and east of 
Kissimee River, Florida. 1 
1 No type or type locality was assigned in the original description, but Mr. Cory has 
told me that he based the form on three specimens, all killed in this region by himself.
