The Rhinarium and Facial Vibrissa.—When Bennettdescribed the rhinarium of an immature exaaiple of Crijpto-j)rocta as small, he gave a very erroneous idea of its appear-ance in the adult, although it must be admitted that hisstandard for size was not stated. As compared with therhinarium of the Felidse, that of Crxjptnprocta is large andprominent as in most Viverridse. Its inferior border infiont is continued downwards as a naked tract dividing the Fig. A. Side view of head of Cryptoprocta feroa:, showing the tufts of facial vibrissse. The mystacials are represented as shorterthan they are in reality, so as not to conceal the two genaltufts below the eye, B. Rhinarium seen from the front. upper lip, but this tract is not marked by a central anddilatable groove as in most Carnivores that possess is, however, a shallow groove extending approximatelyas high as the top of the nostrils, in the middle of theanterior surface of the rhinarium. The nostrils are widelyseparated, and the lateral narial slits are dilated through-out their length. The infranarial portions are deep beneath Characters of Cryptoocti\. 415 the nostril in front—a noticeable non-feline cliaracter_,—andtheir inferior edge extends obliquely upwards, outwards, andbackwards, with a slightly sinuous curvature, and they arecontinued laterally beneath the narial slits to their posteriorend.
