The only known species, L. trichodactylus, is about the size of a hare, and inhabits Chile and Brazil; its general color is grayish; the fur of two sorts, one entirely white, and the other, which is coarser, black, except at the base; the under parts white. Its motions are quick and resemble those of a rabbit; and it seeks its food by night, subsisting wholly on vegetables; it inhabits the level country, and is not esteemed as food. It has very generally obtained the name of viscacha.
