Summer pelage. Female, No. 20770. Dusky gray brown, copi- 

 ously varied with black; the underfur is pale plumbeous tipped with 

 wood brown ; the longer hairs are plumbeous for their basal half, then 

 broadly ringed with pale wood brown and tipped with black. Lower 

 back blackish; head brighter than the back, the hairs ringed subapi- 

 cally with rusty brown instead of pale wood brown. Prepectoral band 

 very broad, rusty buff. 



The male is similar in coloration where the summer coat still re- 

 mains, the back being gray brown varied with black, and the top of 

 the head rusty brown. 



Measurements. The external dimensions as taken by the collector 

 are as follows: Total length, $ , 455, $ , 475; tail vertebrae, 40, 40; 

 hind foot, 135, 130; ear, 74, 75. Skull: Occipital-nasal length, $, 

 74, ?, 77.5; greatest zygomatic breadth, 38, 37; length of nasals, 

 2 7-5. 3'. greatest width of nasals, 15, 14; alveolar length of molars, 

 13. I4-3- 



If these specimens are correctly referred to L. saliens, the 

 total length of the type of the species, "measured from dry 

 skin," is apparently much too small (395 mm. as against 455 

 and 475 in the present specimens), as the other measurements 

 conform satisfactorily with the Telegraph Creek specimens. 



Although hares "were said to be not uncommon at Tele- 

 graph Creek," the "two specimens brought in on October 20 

 and 21 " were the only examples secured.
