Note 5 — Chapter IV · DOMESTIC RABBITS.
Reading edition
‘Pigeons and Rabbits,’ by E. S. Delamer, 1854, p. 133. Sir J. Sebright (‘Observations on Instinct,’ 1836, p. 10.) speaks most strongly on the difficulty. But this difficulty is not invariable, as I have received two accounts of perfect success in taming and breeding from the wild rabbit. See also Dr. P. Broca in ‘Journal de la Physiologie,’ tom. ii. p. 368.
