      fraud; of unknown origin, cf. Skr. puccha tail. Cf. {Vixen}.]
      1. (Zo[94]l.) A carnivorous animal of the genus {Vulpes},
            family {Canid[91]}, of many species. The European fox ({V.

               cross-gray and woods-gray foxes are other varieties of
               the same species, of less value. The common foxes of
               Europe and America are very similar; both are

            origin of the varieties called {Isabella}, {Concord},
