Text Appearing Before Image:
CHAP. XII.) DIFFERENT KINDS OF CATS. 425 The fur of the cheeks is generally long, so much so as to form a pendent thick fringe on each side, but the extent of this develop- ment varies greatly. The pads of the feet are more or less over- grown with hair. It inhabits Northern Scandinavia, Russia, Northern Asia, and some of the mountainous districts of Central Europe. One was killed at Wurtemberg as late as 1846, and in 1822 one was killed in France at St. Julien Chapteril, in the department of the Haute Loire. This animal is said to attain the length ot fifty inches, but I have seen none longer than about forty inches from snout to the root of the tail. B. The variety known as F. canadensis, is, in colour, very like F. boreahs, but all the specimens I have seen are smaller, being about thirty inches from snout to tail root, with a tail five inches long. C. The variety named F. rufa* is, as its name implies, of a reddish colour; its fur is shorter and less abundant than that of the variety named F. canadensis.
Text Appearing After Image:
Fig. 180.—The Northern Ltnx, variety F. maculata. D. The variety called F. maculata is a very handsome one, its fur being ornamented with many spots; but skins exist which present every transitional condition between the long-haired spotted form known as F. maculata and the other American forms. This variety extends across the North American continent from the Rio Grande to Southern California, going at least as far south as Biologia Centrali Americana, Mammals, p. 64.
