COMMON NAME. — Leopard. CURRENT NAME. — Panthera pardus ( Linnaeus, 1758 ) . See Wozencraft (2005: 547) and Sunquist & Sunquist (2009: 133) . COLLECTOR/S. — Donated to François Péron. COLLECTION LOCALITY. — No data. Three specimens are referred to (in addition to a specimen of Felis melas referred to below) by Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire (1804c: 172) (See Jangoux et al. 2010: 276 ). One of these has been provided to the Baudin expedition at Île de France ( Mauritius ) by General Charles-Mathieu-Isidore Decaen ( Péron 1804a ) under the name of “Onca” which refers to the similar looking Jaguar Panthera onca ( Linnaeus, 1758: 42 ) . Commander Pierre-Bernard Milius (1987: 57) also appears to have been offered two further animals by Jan Willem Janssens, Governor-General of the Cape Colony in South Africa , where they were referred to as “Once” (or Tiger by the settlers) (See Girard 1856: 96 ; Milius 1987: 57 ; Jangoux et al. 2010: 276 ; Hambly 2013: 277 ). COLLECTION DATE. — Before 24 January 1804 . SPECIMEN NUMBER/S. — No specimen identified in MNHN collection. COMMENTS. — Three animals collected and taken alive back to France on board Le Géographe under the name Felis pardalis (synonym of Leopardus pardalis ) which appears to be in error for Felis pardus as the former species only occurs in South America (É. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire 1804c: 172). One should exercise some caution as to whether these animals are different to the Felis melas referred to below. ILLUSTRATIONS. — No data.
