The Hare (fr. lièvre). as also the rabbit (fr. lapin), always blazoned coney(and in one case the leveret), are not infrequent in coats of arms, but, so far as has been observed, there are no rules followed as to distinct drawing of these varieties.

They are more frequently represented as sejant, and if no description is given they would be drawn so; but they are found blazoned courant, boltant, passant, salient, and (though wrongly) rampant; also feeding, and issuing from their burrows; the most remarkable of all is the Hare playing upon the bagpipes. Hares’ heads occur in one case.
