THE FOX. 



FOXES are of three kinds : the gray, the red, 

 and the silver fox. The two former are found 

 in almost all parts of the United States, but 

 in the greatest numbers in the South and 

 West. The silver fox is not found in the 

 South, but is very numerous in portions of 

 the North. 



The fox generally burrows in the ground 

 near water, but sometimes stays in thick cane- 

 brakes and deadenings without living in holes.
