| | The PANTHER, OUNCE, and LEOPARD |
 | | The leopard* is larger than the ounce, but much less than the panther, seldom exceeding four feet in length. |
 | | Shaw,* resembles the leopard, (he means the panther), by having the same spots; but they differ in other respects; for the skin of the former is darker and coarser, and he is not so ferocious as the latter. Besides, we learn from a passage of Albert, commented upon by Gesner |
 | | In all leopards skins, the spots are nearly of the same size and figure; and their chief difference consists I the deepness or lightness of their colours. |
