224 LORD LILFORD 



He has brought a hare l and skull from Biskra, 

 which I hope he will send to South Kensington, 

 also a good specimen of Zorilla Vaillanti (Loche); 

 this I take to be rare in N. Africa. ... As I 

 suppose you are aware, Morisco, as applied to 

 the Great Bustard, has nothing whatever to do 

 with Moro a Moor, but is a malversation of 

 Marismeno from marisma.' 



1 This hare, which was presented by Dr. Drewitt to the Cam- 

 bridge Museum, was described by Mr. G. E. H. Barrett Hamilton 

 as a new species (Annals of Natural History, vol. ii. No. 11, 

 p. 422), and named by him Lepus palUdior.
