THE COATI. AN animal well worthy of the attention of those in search of the uncommon is the Coatimundi.

Pholo by Lewis Medland. WHITE-XOSED OB BED COA'l I. from twenty-five to thirty-five shillings apiece. There are two species, respectively known as the White-nosed and the Eed Coati. They are both liable to considerable variations of coloration, one encroaching so much on the characteristics of the other that it is often a matter of difficulty to say which is which unless the specific characters are strongly defined. The most noticeable feature of the coati is the length of the nose, and its flexible snout seems engaged in ceaselessly ferreting out the corners of the cage all the time that its owner is awake. The German name— Riisselbar—has reference to the long nose of the animal, and signifies "proboscis"-bear. Both species are natives of the American Continents, the red coati, ranging from the extreme north of South America as far south as. Paraguay, being most common over 365.
