FOX HUNTING. II 



l)ut that the gray fox does not extend much north 

 of southern Pennsylvania, and even there it is 

 scarce. On the Pacific coast it reaches Oregon. 

 Some zoologists consider the Pacific coast form 

 to be distinct (F. Calif ornicus) with various sub- 

 species. 



The black, silver, and coon foxes are not 

 considered as distinct specific forms. We do not 

 find any form but the red fox in eastern Penn- 

 sylvania. 



The gray fox is a poor runner as compared 

 with the red fox, but can climb a tree like a 

 coon.

 the eight-months-old hound puppies on him, that 

 had never scented a fox. The puppies and 

 the fox were taken, by the few members who 

 happened to be present, to a neighboring field, 

 where the fox was turned from his box, after the 

 puppies had been induced to smell at him and 

 had been badly frightened by the growl of the 

 fox. The fox, when released, instead of running 

 ol¥, boldly walked toward the assembled club
