The Jaguars are the spotted Tygers of America, found from Mexico to Paraguay. It was sup- posed that none were ever seen further north or with us; they are hardly mentioned in our Zoological books, and their casual visits dis- believed by many when they hear of them. But Humboldt has lately ascertained that the striped Tyger of India, often wanders to the north as far as Tartary and Siberia. 1 will prove that the spotted Jaguars do the same in America, and wander as far as Kentucky and Lake Erie in latitude 42. This always happens in summer, and is not at all extraordinary
