Abstract: In 1964, GAO Yaoting (=KAO Yueh-ting ) et al. recognized five subspecies of highland hare. During recent years, more specimens have been collected from Qinghai and Xizang ( Tibet). Based on the specimens collected, the authors are of the opinion that the subspecific classification of highland hares requires a systematic revision.
