Brush Rabbit
Size small. Total length, 300-375; tail, 20-43; hind foot, 64-81; ear
from notch (dry), 50-64; weight (topotypes of _S. b. macrorhinus_) 16 ♂

brownish gray, but tail whitish beneath; hair on midventral part of body
gray at base; only a slight crenulation of ridge of enamel which
separates an individual molariform tooth into anterior and posterior
sections. From _Sylvilagus audubonii_, the only other species of
_Sylvilagus_ in the same geographic area, _S. bachmani_ differs in
smaller size, less white on underparts (the hairs on the midventral part
of the body being gray instead of white at base), shorter ears and legs,
and a less crenulated ridge of enamel separating the anterior and
posterior parts of a molariform tooth.
