SkuU (in British Museum) very like that of a leopard, but shorter; and the nose, instead of being nearly flat, is regularly arched before the orbits. Length 6g inches, width 4§ inches. Nasal wide, flat; apex produced rather behind the back edge of the maxiUa. Pro- cess of the intermaxiUa very slender, short; forehead broad, convex. Fig. Leopardtm ohmensis. There are two or three skulls of Leopards in the Museum, re- ceived from the Utrecht collection, without habitats, that rather resemble the Pekin specimen, which was presented to us by Dr. Lockhart. They may be the skulls of L. brachyurus. 4. Leopardus onca. Felis onca, Linn. Felis panthera, Schreb.; Ouvier, Oss. Foss. t. 34. f. 3, 4. Jaguar, Buffon. Leopardus onca, Gray, P. Z.
