MAMMALS 
Ickwell Bury on 28 October 1886 had the 
fore part of the body pure white, as far as the 
top of the shoulder (Field). Mr. T. Cane 
has given me particulars of another that was 
shot at Dunstable ; it also had the fore parts 
white, including the shoulders and fore legs, 
one eye being normal in colour, the other 
white with a black pupil. One of a uniform 
pale grey colour was sent in to Mr. A. 
Covington from Sharnbrook about 1868 ; also 
143 
another, very similar but patched with white, 
from Wilshamstead shortly afterwards. 
29. Rabbit. Lepus cuniculus, Linn. 
Common, but varying considerably in 
numbers in various localities, and on the 
whole by no means so abundant as in many 
other counties. On 4 May 1901 I saw two 
entirely white young ones in company with 
others on the Sharpenhoe downs.
