Vulpes Magellanicus, Gray.—Canis Magellanicus, Zool. of the 
Voyage of H. M. S. Beagle. 
Tue figure of this species is published in the above 
cited work, but the letterpress has not as yet ap- 
peared ; we therefore refer to the dimensions and 
description in Mr Gray’s notice of Mammalia in 
Loudon’s Magazine of Natural History, vol. i. page 
577. It is there denominated Magellanic Fox, and 
represented to be “ greyish varied with black on 
the back; the cross band on the nape and upper 
part of the tail black ; head pale yellowish; back 
of the ears, nape, sides of the limbs, and under parts 
of the tail bright fulvous ; chin, throat, chest, belly, 
and front of legs white. Length of head eight 
inches, body twenty inches, tail twelve inches. In- 
habits Magellanic Straits. Presented to the Museum 
by Captain King, R.N.” The figure published by 
Mr Darwin represents an animal in form resem- 
bling the fox of Norway, being equally robust in 
structure and low in stature; the colours are light
