CRABODAGO AGUARA FOX. 2€5 
white band interposes immediately above the black 
tip ; the face and legs are brown, without the black 
streak on the shins, and the sides more mixed with 
pale grey. 
Mons. Fred. Cuvier regards the Aguarachay of 
d Azara as the C. cinerco argenteus of authors, but 
there is no resemblance in the colours, figure, or 
manners; one belongs to South and the other to 
North America. The Guaracha barks, lives on 
terms without restraint when brought up in the 
house, his manners resembling those of the C. Me- 
soleucus ; the young are blackish and white. The 
three coloured animal is a true fux, of which we 
have seen several in a living state, but always 
chained, having the nocturnal eye, the odour, and 
instinct of foxes; and of a great number of skins 
we examined, there was not one without the space 
of true fox colour behind the cars and on the joints, 
though some were rather darker than others in the 
fur on the back ; the colour was a purer grey, often 
silvery. 
On reconsidering the varieties of this last species, 
we are inclined to conclude that our figure of Cer- 
docyon cancrivorus represents the young, of which 
Prince Maximilian of Wied’s Canis Azare is the 
adult, and our Guaracha only a different yace of the 
same species.
