DuRANGO Hare. 
Type locality. Rancho Bailon, State of Durango, Mexico. Alti- 
tude, 7,800 feet. 
Genl. Char. “Size of Lepus insolitus, but much less varied with 
black, and the general coloration much paler, except the nape patch, 
the legs, and feet, which are of the same deep rufous as in L. inso- 
litus. In other respects the coloration is not distinctly different 
from that of L. a. major, collected at the same locality. From the 
latter it differs in being twice as large (in general bulk), and from 
both L. wmsolitus and L. a. major in important cranial characters. 
Skull similar in general contour to that of L. a. major, but very 
much larger, with actually smaller audital bulle.”’
