where. Reported to exist round Lan-chou Fu in Kansu, but none were 
seen. Chinese name T’iao-t’u-tzi, meaning “ Jumping Hare.” This is

On a previous visit to this locality, several specimens were secured, 
but on the present visit I could scarcely find any inhabited burrows, and 
had much difficulty in trapping this single specimen. 
This species was described by Mr. Thomas from specimens in their 
summer pelage, taken in Shansi at Ning-wu Fu, in 1908. Those taken 
from Yen-an Fu on the same expedition being in their winter coats. 
The U.S. National Museum now possesses specimens in winter pelage 
from both localities. Those from Shansi are found to be somewhat 
darker and more ochraceous in colour than those from Shensi. In other 
respects the specimens from both places agree closely. 
The present specimen from Yen-an Fu agrees exactly with those 
taken from almost the same locality in March, 1908. 
Chinese names “‘ Hao-t’u”’ meaning “‘rat-hare” and “‘Ti-t’u”” meaning 
“ pround-hare.”
