THE MARBLED TIGER-CAT.[27]
“This prettily-marked Wild Cat (see previous page) has been found in the Sikkim Himalayas, in the hilly regions of Assam, Burmah, and Malaysia, extending into the islands of Java, at all events.” The head and body together are from eighteen and a half to twenty-three inches long, the tail fourteen to fifteen and a half inches. The ground-colour of its hide is of a dingy tawny, “occasionally yellowish-grey, the body with numerous elongate wavy, black spots, somewhat clouded or marbled.” The tail is spotted and tipped with black, and the belly is yellowish-white.
