A FAMILY OF FOXES. —Here is a pleasant family scene representing a summer day in a quiet European wood. Madame Reynard and her four little ones have come out of their secluded burrow to enjoy the pleasant air. The mother is calmly content, but watchful. The two little Foxes in the fore- ground are playing with each other after the manner of young Puppies. Another, nestling by the mother, finds amusement in biting a twig, and the fourth, just emerging from the burrow, is very intent on the movements of a pretty Butterfly, which he will snap at if it comes nearer. The mother is a fine specimen of the Fox tribe, and her tail is a beautiful " brush " which many a sportsman would like to own. (Vulpes vulgaris.) (235)
