Abstract

(Lepus campestris) R. E. MOHLER, McPherson College RICHARD H. SCHMIDT, Canton, Kansas The whitetailed jackrabbit, prairie hare, or jackass hare as it has at times been called is becoming a rare specie in Kansas, yet older men of this generation who lived in central, western, or northern Kansas were familiar with this interesting animal. At the present time it appears that the only sections of Kansas where this rabbit is found is in the extreme northwest corner of the state and there infrequently. The specimen, a picture of which was shown at the 81st meeting of the Academy was killed in Thomas County in 1929. So far as we have record this is the latest date for one having been killed in this section of the state.
