Abstract: Luo(1981)used a fuzzy clustering method to study the subspecies differentiation center of the Chinese cape hare,Lepus capensisL. Hepointed that the range of L. c swinhoci Thomas was probably the place of origin or distributional center in China and said his work had brought forth new ideas in theriology. We can not agree with him and make comments on lots of questions, faults and mistakes in his paper. The serious ones were about numerical taxonomy in a wide range from character choice to result explanation, run through the whole operational process. Nevertheless, we believe that numerical taxonomic as well as fuzzy clustering methods should be able to be applied to our theriological research and that more attemptions with correct methodology and rigorous scientific approach are required.
