Athenaeum. 43 p. 829. Brit Assoc — Irish Hare said by Thompson to be identical with Highland Hare

["Mr. THOMPSON exhibited specimens of the Alpine Hare (Lepus variabilis), from the Highlands of Scotland, and of the Hare of Ireland (Lepus hibernicus), for the purpose of showing that the species are identical. Of this fact he, judging from external characters, satisfied himself last autumn, when in the Highlands of Scotland, and subsequently proved it by a comparison of the anatomical characters of the two supposed species."]
