1 This reference may possibly belong under Urocyon c. ocythous, a species 

 which should occur at the place mentioned, and is not included in Snyder's 

 list. The fact that the skin sold for thirty-five dollars, however, makes it 

 probable that the animal was a silver fox, a color phase of Vulpes fulus.
