CORSAC DOG-FOX. 225 



and the sources of the Irtish. It is said never to 

 drink. 



The Indian race we have seen had the ears two 

 inches and a half long, the whiskers abundant and 

 long, and the colour, red, was without any black 

 tipped hair on the back ; it wanted also the black 

 spot on the superior part of the base of the tail, or 

 it was not observed. 



Another specimen we made a drawing of at Am- 

 sterdam was of the size of a small fox, but more 

 lightly made; there was much white and grey 

 about the face, lips, breast, and under parts, the 

 forehead, neck, shoulders, back, upper arm, sides, 

 hams, hocks, and tail were of a rufous yellow, with 

 a slight intermixture of grey ; the back of the ears 

 brown, and the tip of the tail dark ; the whiskers 

 were very long, and the whole animal was similar 

 to the Corsac.
