. Appendix to Captain Parry's journal of a second voyage [microform] : for the discovery of a north-west passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific, performed in His Majesty's ships Fury and Hecla in the years 1821-22-23. Science; Botany; Sciences; Botanique. BY DR. RICHARDSON. 325 ' The following Table is extracted from Barrington's paper in the Philosophical Transactions, Yol. hXIl. > . Rabbit Hare . L.

It will be observed from the above table, that one of the most striking dif- ferences betwixt the polar and the common, or varying, hare is in the length of the fore toes, those of the former being nearly half an inch shorter. The claws of the polar hare are similar in form to those of the common hare, but are in general a little bluntfer, perhaps from more frequent use in scratching. The claws of the varying hare are more accuminated and sharper than either, but at the same time more depressed. The head of the polar hare seems to be proportionally smaller. When the ears of the common hare are bent forwards over the crown of the head they reach to the tip of the nose, and if bent along the cheek they reach an inch beyond the nose. The ears of the varying hare treated in the same way reach, in the latter case, just to the tip of the nose, and in the former, they fall an inch short. The ears of the polar hare seem in general to be of a length intermediate between these two, although some differences seem occa- sionally to exist in this respect; Mr. Edwards, who examined several of these hares on the present voyage, found their cars, exclusive of the fur at their tips, of the same length with the head, and this agrees with the specimen in the Edinburgh Museum, from Melville Island. Those killed at Fort Enterprise had the ears, including the fur, ab
