Prionodon.'—This and the following genus comprise the beauti- ful Linsangs (Fig. 238), which are dis- tinguished from the preceding genera by the loss of the second upper molar, which is, however, very small in some of the Genets. In the present genus the ground colour is whitish or yellowish with brown or black markings, which may either form broad continuous patches across the hinder part of the body, or may be broken up into spots. The tail is very long, the limbs comparatively short, and the fur very short and close. The pollex and hallux are well developed; the claws are almost completely retractile; and the tarsus and metatarsus are com- pletely haired. The pupil is round. The caecum (Fig. 237) is remarkably small. This genus is exclusively Oriental, and comprises /'. gracilis from Borneo, Java, and (?) Sumatra, P. pardi- ' Horsfield, Zool. Research.
