from Xenophorty 23 



^ courfe when purfued is not fo, flie being 

 frightened by the dogs. 



When flie fits, the lower parts of her 

 joints are covered by her belly. Her fore 

 legs are moil commonly clofe together, and 

 extended, refting her chin on the extremity 

 pf her feet j her ears are extended over her 

 flioulders, and flie particularly covers her 

 tender parts ; her hair is well adapted for a 

 covering, being thick and foft. 



When (he wakes flie winks her eyelids, 

 but when flie fleeps flie keeps them conti- 

 nually open without motion, having her 

 eyes fixed j fhe moves her jioftrils frequently 

 when fleeping, but lefs often when awake. 



When the earth begins to vegetate, fhe 

 is found oftener in cultivated places than 

 among mountains ^ but wherever flie fits 



* t^ej^yipuoc,. The words lytoAoc, and ogo\f.aAoc, relate to the 

 Hare herfelf in this paragraph, and not to her courfe ; but 

 it was impoffible to render 5 ivioaqc, in this fentence without 

 anticipating the definition given in the latter part of it, we 

 having no technical word to exprefs a Hare making her trail, 

 which is the cafe of the Greek word EJnaw when oppofed to 

 J^ofAaro?, and appropriated to this adtion of the animal. 

 The giving the general inftead of the appropriated fenfe 

 occafioned the abfurdity of the Latin tranilation.
