The species of the family Canidae have been arranged as far 

 as possible according to the system adopted by Prof. Huxley in his 

 paper on the Canidae (P. Z. S., 18S0, p. 238) ; beginning with the 

 higher Thooids,theWild Dogs and Wolves, then follow the Jackals 

 and their allies, Canis procyonides being the lowest true Thooid 

 represented ; the Alopecoid Series follows, beginning with the most 

 highly developed foxes, Vulpes alopex and Vulpes fulvus and gra- 

 dually descending to the microdont V. bengalensis and V. caama.
