" Inexpressibly sa-vage in disposition" (^Hudson) Japan and a fulvous leopard-like skin in India, where it is also called the Tiger-cat ; and the smallest of all wild cats, the little Rusty-spotted Cat of India. This has rusty spots on a gray ground. " I had a kitten brought to me, " says Dr. Jerdon of the species, " when very young. It became quite tame, and was the dehght and admiration of all who saw it. When it was about eight months old, I introduced the fawn of a gazelle into the room where it was.

It has a coat the colour of gold-stone. The nose is pink, the eyes large and topaz- coloured, the cheeks stripedwith white, and the underparts and lower part of the tail pure white. Four kinas of wild cats are known in South Africa, of which the largest is the Serval, a short-tailed, spotted animal, with rather more woolly fur than the leopard's. The length is about 4 feet 2 inches, of which the tail is only 12 inches. It is found from Algeria to the Cape; but its favourite haunts, hke those of all the wild cats of hot countries, are in the reeds by rivers. It kills hares, .
