Description
Summary:black a 348 [i] WRECKED ON LABRADOR. [i] dark and light areas, so that in a fine skin the whole fur has the appearence of being silver gray. The black fox is simply a very dark silver gray, and is pure black only in very fine skins. The blue fox is a very rare one, now, and without a doubt another variety, -perhaps a cross be- tween a white and a red fox." "And the white fox?" asked Freddie. "Well, some naturalists try to make that a distinct species, and others hold that centuries of living in the Arctic regions has changed its fur and dwarfed its size and that it is nothing but a variety of the common red fox, after all."
