edges of the belly, wliicli is i)ui-c white throughout. Cliin white; throat-band 

 greyish creaiu-bufl'. Crown of head like back, therefore much lighter than in 

 L. timetae ; sides of muzzle, orbital rings and a patch between eye and ear, white. 

 Nape-i)atch a delicate buffy vinaceous, rather paler than in tunetae. Front surface 

 of back of ear cream-buff, edged with white, or cream-white to the tip, the narrow 

 black terminal edging only beginning beyond the tip, where on the hind surface of 

 the ear-back there is a small blackish patch. In L. tunetae, about an inch at the 

 end of the front margin is black-edged. Hairs of inner surface of ear creamy white. 

 Limbs pale pinkish buff, very different to the fulvous of the forearms and lower 

 legs of lunctae ; hands and feet cream-buff, the longer hairs under the fingers and 

 toes deep ochraceons-buff. Tail black above, white below and on the sides. 



Dimensions of the type, measured in skin : — 



Head and body 410 mm. ; tail, 70 ; hindfoot, s.u., 93 ; ear, from notch 101, 

 from base at back, Ho. 



This hare is a desert species of the L. tunetae ty])e, and may be distinguished 

 from that animal by its paler colour, especially its paler head, and the absence of 

 the fulvous tones on the limbs and sides of the belly. 



I have named it in honour of my friend Ernst Hartert, who induced Mr. 

 Eiggenbach to make a triji to the Rio de Oro for the Triug Museum, and to whom 

 I have been so often indebted for introductions to possible mammal-collectors, 

 and for many other kindly services.
