 The lower parts, however, are white, instea<l of pluniboous-gray, and the 

 color above is ratlier lighter tlian in L. twwhridgei. It is easily distinguished

 deserts; and to the southeastward, into the very light, very large-eared 

 phase of the sylvaticus group which I called variety anzonce..
