Lonij walks are required, which take one over many miles of woods, hills, and fields, and this in fall and winter when the air is always pure and bracing. In New England, the hunt is for the red fox and his varieties; the silver and cross foxes, the gray fox of the south and west being almost, if not quite, unknown. I*"rom the tip of his nose to the root of his tail, the red fox measures about twenty-eigh;. or thirty inches, his tail sixteen to eighteen inches including hair, and his height at the shoulder thirteen inches. His long fur and thick, bushy tail make him look larger and heavier than he is. Ot several specimens which I have weighed, the largest tipped the beam at twelve pounds; the least at seven pounds. The general color is yellowish red ; the outsides of the ears and the fronts of the legs and feet are black; the chin and usually the tip of the tail, white; and 79.
