Range. — Most of North America south to Texas 

 and northern Georgia, except arid southwestern 

 United States. 



Habitat. — Dry country, at all elevations, partic- 

 ularly broken areas having open patches inter- 

 spersed with cover; at home both in heavy forests 

 and open tundra, occasionally about marshes and 

 at great distances on the sea ice, as at St. Lawrence 

 and the Pribilof Islands. 



Races in Ahshi. — The red fox of most of north- 

 ern and central Alaska is a.Ia.i-censis (type locality : 

 Andreafski, about 70 miles above delta of the 

 Yukon River) ; harrinumi (type locality: Kodiak 

 Island) is found only on that island; kenaiensis 

 (type locality: Kenai Peninsula) is apparently 

 largely restricted to that area; abietorum is prob- 

 ably the race on the mainland of southeastern 

 Alaska, where it is sparse.
