Or this smaller species of the Hare tribe portions of the 
jaws, teeth, and bones of the extremities, have been found 
fossil in the cave at Kirkdale, in Kent’s Hole, and in the 
cave at Berry Head, Torquay; they closely accord with 
the corresponding parts in the existing wild Rabbit. 
The specimen figured is the right ramus of the lower 
jaw of a young individual, from Kent’s Hole; it is now in 
the British Museum. 
Bones of the Rabbit form part of the osseous breccia of 
Corsica. MM. Serres, Dubreuil, and Jean-Jean,* de- 
scribe and figure the fossil remains of two varieties of the 
Lepus cuniculus, which they discovered in the caverns at 
Lunel- Viel.
