Dale, Thomas F. Fox. $1.75. Longmans.
A recent volume in the “Fur, feather and fin series,” whose general aim is to treat the fowl, fish or beast under consideration from the standpoint of its natural history, its capture and its food value. “The present volume gives not only its natural but its psychological history adequately for the first time, and in a way that should attract all those interested in the question of the extent of animal intelligence.” (N. Y. Times.) The following headings suggest the extent of the treatment: The natural history of the fox, The education of the fox, The mind of the fox, How to preserve foxes, Home and haunts of the fox, The hunted fox, The fox as a captive, The fox as an outlaw, The fox in fable, Cousin Jack, The fox and his fur, and Hunting the fox.
