EAST INDIAN FOX. 

 Vulpes leucopus. 



This very small Fox is also called the Indian Desert 

 Fox. It is of a pale light colour, similar to the Hill 

 Fox of Afghanistan ; the tip of the tail is white, and the 

 back is covered with silvery white hairs, sometimes of a 

 brownish shade. The fur is only of poor quality and of 

 little value, and is sometimes shipped from Kurrachee. 

 The East Indian Fox inhabits the Punjaub. 



AZAEA'S FOX. 



Canis azarea. 



Azara's Fox inhabits South America. Its colour is 

 silvery-greyish light brown ; the tail is dark grey and 

 tipped with black ; the belly white ; the legs are grey in 

 front and rufous colour behind. In size it is about the 

 same as the Grey Fox. 



Very few skins are imported into this country, and 

 are worth about Is. 8d. 



CAPE FOX. 



Vulpes chacma. 



This Fox is an inhabitant of the Cape. The fur is of 

 a yellowish colour, and is made by the natives into 

 karosses. A few skins are met with from time to time.
