LEPORI DM— LEPUS SYLVATICUS. 



n:5:5 



L. trowbridgei, namely, a finely-mixed pale yellowish-brown and black. 

 The lower parts, however, are white, instead of plumbeous-gray, and the 

 color above is rather lighter than in L. trowbridgei. It is easily distinguished 

 from the latter, not only by the different color of the lower parts, but by its 

 longer tail. While merely the darker Pacific-coast phase of the L. sylvaticus 

 group, it finds its closest resemblance in external features in the L. trow- 

 bridgei. To the eastward, it merges into variety nuttalli of the interior 

 deserts ; and to the southeastward, into the very light, very large-eared 

 phase of the sylvaticus group which I called variety arizonce.
