51. Vulpes vuJpes {Jj.). Red Fox. 



Carroll county, Monroe county, Vigo county. Rather common in each 

 of these countits. In Vigo county several "fox drives" are had 

 every winter and from none to three or four foxes caught each time. 



Wabash county (Ulrey). Galbraith's collection. 



Randolph county. Common. Cox. 



La Grange county (Steininger.) 



Franklin county. According to Dr. Raymond the Red Fox came into 

 the county about forty years ago. Previous to that time the gray 

 form only was found. They are numerous. Fox drives were much

52. Urocyon cinereo-argentatm (Schreber). Gray Fox. 



Franklin county. These foxes are numerous; probably as much so as

 Franklin county. Was formerly found but never common. 



55. Lynx rafus (Galdenstiirit). American WMld Cat. 



Franklin county. In 1869 Dr. Raymond noted " occasionally seen but 

 rare." That was about the end of their existence in this county.
