. Catalogue of the mammals of Western Europe (Europe exclusive of Russia) in the collection of the British museum. Mammals. 500 RODENTIA than 92 mm. (8G to 93 mm.). Brain-case relatively narrower and deeper than in tiiiiidiis, and parietal region less flattened, the dorsal protile when viewed from behind arching abruptly and conspicuously above level of zygomatic roots. Anterior half of frontal nearly flat, the orbital rims rising slightly but abruptly above general level of interorbita) region. Posterior extremity of malar and relative length of suture between malar and zygomatic process of squamosal as in L. timidus. Anterior portion of zygoma usually though not always differing from that. Fig. 102a. Lepus europsevit. Nat. size. of L. timuliis in the greater width and relatively less depth of the elevated region in front of lateral groove; the least distance from groove to anterior edge of zygoma usually equal to or greater than depth at same region. Auditory bulla relatively a little larger than in Lepus timidus, its ventral protile a little less convex and anterior border less rounded off, a pecularity not easily described but which when once seen is readily appreciated. Teeth.—In general the teeth resemble those of Orydolagus ciinieulus, diff'ej'ing in a few slight details only. Upper incisor with groove on anteiior face decidedly nearer internal border.
