In southeastern Colorado, the gray fox occurs in comparable situations eastward to Baca County. The ranges of the gray fox and the red fox are more or less complementary in the state; I know of no records of Urocyon cine- reoargenteus from higher parts of the moun- tains or from irrigated valleys of the north- eastern part of Colorado.

As is true of other kinds of foxes, the legal status of Urocyon in Colorado recently has been changed from that of "predator" to "non- game mammal" (see account of Vulpes vulpes). Urocyon cinereoargenteus scottii M earns Urocyon virginianus scottii Mearns, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., 3:236, 5 June 1891; type locality, probably near Oracle, Pinal Co., Arizona (fide Gold- man, 1938c). Urocyon cinereo-argenteus scottii, J. A. Allen, Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist., 7:253, 29 June 1895. Distribution in Colorado.—Locally in rough, broken terrain at moderate elevations on either side of the mountains (Fig. 93). Comparison.—From 17. c. ocythous, the subspecies of the lower Missouri Valley and adjacent areas (as known to me by specimens from Douglas County, Kansas), U. c. scottii differs in smaller external and cranial size and paler (more buffy and grayish, less blackish) pelage.
