In a lacustrine deposit at Market- Weighton, in the Vale of York, there have been found bones of the elephant, rhinoceros, bison, wolf, horse, felis, deer, birds, all or nearly all extinct species; associated with thirteen species of land and fresh water shells, "exactly identical with types now living in the vicinity."
Is it not just a little shameful to pot old felis leo at long range, in the open, near his kill, and wherever we have him at an advantage-nine times, and then to back out because that advantage is for once not so marked? It was not good enough," meaning that the game looked a little risky. Do not misunderstand.
In some cases separate plates of molars of the mammoth, and several teeth of the great Irish deer, Cervus megaceros, and of the cave-lion, Felis spelaea, have been found mixed up with cut and carved bones of reindeer.

There were times, too, when faced by a mighty cave bear, a saber-toothed tiger, or huge felis spelaea, black-maned and terrible, even my powerful rifle seemed pitifully inadequate but fortune favored me so that I passed unscathed through adventures that even the recollection of causes the short hairs to bristle at the nape of my neck.
"What! do you call the lion a cat?" exclaimed Percy. "To be sure I do. What is he but `Felis leo'? which means the cat lion, as you know, in Latin. He is more cowardly, too, than most cats, for he'll never attack either a man or a beast unless he thinks he has a good chance of coming off the victor.
We shout to the dog to steer his rabble away, but on they come, and obliterate our trail with a thousand hoofprints and a cloud of dust. The sun then comes out, and our day is done. No felis this time. So we scout the country for information to be used later, and return to camp to drown our sorrow in food.
Such is the thickness of the forests in these regions, that scarcely any animals are to be found there but such as climb trees; as, for instance, the monkeys, animals of the weasel tribe, jaguars, and other species of the genus Felis. As our fires burnt brightly, we paid little attention to the cries of the jaguars. They had been attracted by the smell and noise of our dog.
For example, the Lion, the Tiger, the Panther, the Domestic Cat constitute such a natural group, which Linnæus called Felis, Cat, indicating the whole genus; but the species he designates as Felis catus, the Domestic Cat, Felis leo, the Lion, Felis tigris, the Tiger, Felis panthera, the Panther.
Most people are under the impression that the hunting leopard with non-retractile claws is incapable of climbing a tree; I was myself of this opinion until I actually witnessed the act, and the animal ran up a tree with apparent ease, ascending to the top. The Felis jubata is totally different in shape from all other leopards.
