FOXES, from their numbers, are very destructive in Scan- 

 dinavia, and many kinds of devices are in consequence 

 employed to destroy them. They are the more sought 

 after from their skins being now somewhat valuable, more 

 so indeed than those of the wolf; for when the animal is 

 full grown, they fetch from eight to ten shillings each. 

 The chief market is Russia, where, for the use of the 

 military, they are much in demand. 



Some foxes are killed in Skalls ; but probably because those 

 animals hide themselves in the clefts of rocks, or other inac- 

 cessible places, the number captured by this means is not 

 very considerable. Even at the great bear and wolf hunts 

 spoken of, though frequently embracing a very considerable 

 extent of country, it seldom happens that more than two or 

 three foxes are killed.
