The #Binturong (Arctictis binturong), Plate X in Joseph Wolf's Zoological Sketches Vol. 2, London, 1867.
"A fine male specimen of the Binturong was presented to the Zoological Society in 1855, by Mrs. Samuel Rawson, and lived in good health nearly eleven years in the Gardens. It is believed to have been the only example of this scarce animal ever exhibited alive in Europe."
