Ogilby’s Paradoxure. 
Paradoxurus Ogilhyi , Fraser. 
The animal forming the subject of the present figure and description has been living for some 
years in the Menagerie of the Zoological Society of London. Nothing whatever is known of its 
history, it having been purchased of one of the London dealers by myself. 
The general colour is bright brown, darker on the top of the shoulders, the feet, and the upper 
surface of the tail; brighter over the loins; lighter, and of a much redder cast beneath; the head 
light coloured, especially on the sides, where the lighter tint is continued as a crescentic mark 
behind each ear; the ears are short and dark coloured; a dark stripe comes down from the inner 
angle of each eye, and spreads itself wider on the sides of the muzzle; from the dark portion on the 
shoulders is continued a mesial line partly down the back. The last three inches of the tail are white. 
The size is about equal to Paradoxurus Grayi, Bennett. 
The plate having been published some months since, and the animal in the meantime having 
undergone some change, will at once account for the apparent discrepancies between the figure and 
the present description.
