Gray's Anatomy is a classic human anatomy textbook first published in 1858 by Henry Gray. The book, which is widely considered to be one of the most important and influential works in the field of anatomy, provides a detailed and comprehensive description of the human body, including the bones, muscles, organs, and systems that make up the body. Gray's Anatomy is still widely used by medical students, physicians, and other healthcare professionals for its detailed illustrations and accurate descriptions of the human body. The latest edition is the 41st edition and is edited by Susan Standring.

Fig. 174.—Skull of Geoffroy's Cat (F. gitigna). The skull is very short and broad, and convex above at the muzzle. Orbits not completely enclosed ; first upper premolar very small. It inhabits Paraguay and Chili. (22.) The Ocelot-like Cat (Felispardinoides)* This animal was also first described by Dr. Gray under the mis- taken supposition that it came from India.f The type of the species came from the Zoological Society's collection, with the re- putation of an Indian origin. A second specimen, however, cer- tainly received from Bogota, placed its real geographical region beyond doubt. It is very like F. guigna, but the spots are much larger and in the form of dark blotches, each with a black border. The two skins differ somewhat, the type of the species being greyer than the skin subsequently received. The skulls also are different, but not more so than difference of age may suffice to account for, the typical specimen being immature. The length of the head and body is about eighteen inches, that of the tail being ten inches. As has been said, it comes from Bogota. * This animal is identified by Mr. Elliot with that last described, though he allows them to be good "varieties." It appears to me that they should pro- visionally at least be held as distinct. f Pro. Zool. Soc, 1867, p. 400.
