 * the coney.
   {Shaphan,} most probably an animal resembling the rabbit,
   called by Dr. Shaw, {daman} (probably for {ganam}) Israel,
   "Israel's lamb," and by Bruce, {ashkoko,} which name he
   imagines is "derived from the singularity of these long
   herenacious hairs, which, like small thorns, grow about his
   back, and which an Amhara are called {ashok.}"  This curious
   animal abounds in Judea, Palestine, Arabia, and Ethiopia; and
   is described as being about seventeen inches when sitting.
   It has no tail; and at first sight gives the idea of a rat.
   Its colour is grey, mixed with reddish brown; the belly
   white, the body covered with strong polished hairs, for the
   most part about two inches in length; the ears round, and not
   pointed; the feet round, of a soft, pulpy, tender substance;
   the toes projecting beyond the nails, which are rather broad
   than sharp; the upper jaw is longer than the other; it lives
   upon grain, fruit, and roots, and certainly chews the cud;
   and it does not burrow like the hare and rabbit, but lives in
   clefts of the rocks.
