Abstract
The material for this investigation was part of the scientific collection of the Zoological Institute and Zoological Museum of the University of Hamburg. The Cryptoprocta ferox fetuses, together with the reproductive organs of the female, were from the old Hamburg Zoological Garden. Their identification is based on a publication describing the condition of the material in fresh State (Vosseler 1929). The description of the fetuses in a whole state was given by Köhncke and Schliemann (1977). The female fetus, having a 54-mm crown-rump length (CRL), was serially sectioned transversely and provided the base for the models; the second fetus is a male with a CRL of 57-mm. The two fetuses of Paradoxurus hermaphroditus reached the same collection through the German India (G.A. von Maydell) 1957 Expedition. The CRL of the fetuses were 40 mm and 44 mm, the first being transversally, the latter sagittally sectioned. Nothing is known about their period of intrauterine development.
