THE LIVING WORLD. 
The European Wild Cat (Felts catus) is grayish-yellow with tiger-like 
markings. In length it is about two feet, exclusive of the tail. It is still 
found in Scotland, 
but though formerly 
abundant in England, 
it has now d i s a p - 
peared from that 
Country. 
The Chaus, or 
Jungle Cat (. Felis 
chans, Chaus lyrzcns) , is 
tawny, with indistinct 
stripes. It wears two 
coats of hair, and thus 
seems to be heavier 
than it is. It is found 
alike in Asia and 
Africa, generally 
about bogs. 
The Texas Wild 
Cat (Lynx macula/us) 
is found also in Cali¬ 
fornia. 
The Red Cat 
(Lynx lasciatus ), 
found in the far west, 
is distinguished by 
its color, and by the 
abundance of its soft 
fur. 
The Caracal, 
Ciagosh, or Black¬ 
eared Lynx (Felis 
caracal ), is found 
both in Asia and in 
Africa. Its color is brown, inclining to red above and lighter below. The 
under parts are spotted, and white hair appears stretching from the tip of the 
upper lip to 
the end of the 
chin. It is 
about the size 
of a small dog, 
and has the 
most marvel¬ 
lous power of 
leaping and 
climbing. It 
mostly acts as 
account.
