LEOPARD .SiZe 3 to 6 ft.
long
 . There are several kinds, the
chief
  being the snow or ounce, Chinese, Bengal, Persian,
East
  Indian and
African
 . The first variety inhabit the Himalayas and are beautifully covered with a deep soft fur quite
long
  compared to the flat harsh
hair
  of the Bengal sort. The colours are
pale
  orange and
white
  with very dark markings, a strong contrast making a fine effect. Most artists prize these skins above all others. The Chinese are of a
medium
  orange brown colour, but full in fur. The
East
  Indian are less full and not so dark. The Bengal are dark and
medium
  in colour, short and hard
hair
 , but useful for floor rugs, as they do not hold the dust like the fuller and softer hair of the kinds previously named. They are also used for drummers' aprons and saddle cloths in the Indian army. The
African
  are small with
pale
  lemon colour grounds very closely marked with black spots on the skin, the strong contrast making a pleasing effect. Occasionally, where something very marked is wanted, skating jackets and carriage aprons are made
from the softest and flattest of skins, but usually they are made into settee covers, floor rugs and foot muffs. Value 2s. to 405.
