The inner edge of the upper leading incisors is raised; the fiUed central groove along the front of the incisor usually spreads irregularly or has side channels, but may be simple. Flux & Flux (1983) gave nine characteristics to distinguish this spe- cies from L. capensis which shares much of Kenya with it. Coarser fur, ear top with a large blackish smudge, smaller supraorbitals and bullae, and smaller heart, characterize victoriae. Johnston (1902, p. 423) was prophetic when he wrote, with Thomas (ibid "hares of perhaps three species are common throughout Uganda" (then including W Kenya), but no speci- mens have yet been identified.
