Genus VULPES Brisson.^ 



1762. Valpes Brissox, Regn. anim., ii ed., p. 173. Type. —

According to Trouessart (Catal. mamm., pt. in, p. 453, 1897) the 

 terms applied to genei'a by Brisson are monomial specific names 

 without status in the Linnaean liinomial system of nomenclature. 

 If this view be adopted the generic name Yvlpes was first used by 

 Richardson (Fauna Boreali-Americana, i, p. 83, 1829, t^-pe, Cards 

 vnl2)es Linnaeus).
