Heretofore but one specimen of this species has been Fig. LEPUS BAIRDU, HAYDEN. brought before the scientific world, and it (No. 4263) is now on exhibi- tion in the Smithsonian Institution. It was collected in the Wind River Mountains by Dr. Hay den in the month of June, 1800, and was described by him in the American jSTaturalist, (vol. iii, No. 3, May, 1869.)
