Type, Male. No. 111. Killed 2 July, 1901. 



This fine Hare, which is named in honour of Mr. Whitaker, to 

 whose enterprise and generosity the whole of the Tripoli collection 

 is due, is readily distinguishable from all its allies by its r-emark- 

 able colour and the character of its incisors. 



This species seems widely distributed in Tripoli, from Wadi 

 Sofedjin in the north, to Timinint, near Sebha, in the south.

The fauna of Rhodesia is still so imperfectly w-orked out that 

 all zoologists will feel giuteful to Mr. Darling for the trouble he 

 has taken in forming collections in the part of the country in 

 which he has been residing for the past few years, viz, the district 

 about Salisbury. The series of Fishes, Batrachians, and Reptiles, 

 the names of which follow, was collected at Mazoe and between 

 Umtali and Marandellas, and presented by him to the British 

 Museum. Two Fishes, a Frog, a Tortoise, and a Lizard are new 

 to science.
