HARE, Lepus Timidus. Jenyn?, p. 34. Bell's Quad., p. 

 333. Ray's Syn. Quad., p. 204. In Loudon's Magazine 

 of Natural History, vol. 7, p. 504, there is an account of a 

 white variety of the common Hare, which from the year 

 1829, has continued on Morval Estate, the seat of John 

 Buller, Esq., and was still to be found so lately as Christ- 

 mas, 1836. As several of them have been killed, at differ- 

 ent times through this series of years, it is clear that the 

 peculiarity has been propagated in the race ; whilst their 

 not being found at any considerable distance from their 

 original haunts, is a proof of the little disposition evinced 

 to wander from a favourite district.

 348. A black variety is sometimes seen;* but this pecu-

 which were white.
