“…The technique was most useful in separating those juveniles which still exhibit a markedflew-de-lys pattern to the upper incisors, this disappearing by the second year. Bromel & Zettl (1974) found that incisor wear was "useful" for ageing German animals up to two years of age but that thereafter exact age determination was not possible. The use of molar wear for age determination was considerably less reliable, showing a greater degree of variability than incisor wear, the converse of the results obtained by Wood (1958) for Urocyon.…”

With 2 plates and 5 figures in the text) A review of age determination techniques that have been applied to the family Canidae is presented. It is shown that the pattern of growth and development of the various species is very similar, the rate of development being greater in the smaller, shorter-lived species, and vice versa.The occurrence of annuli in the hard tissues of London foxes is demonstrated; these annuli can be used reliably for age determination, despite suggestions that temperate zone animals from weakly continental climates have indistinct annuli. The objective ages determined by cementum annuli are then used to investigate the value of less timeconsuming age determination techniques, particularly in the separation of the young-of-the-year from adults. The results obtained from different studies vary, and these diff'erences are discussed. It is suggested that the speed of development vanes slightly indifferent Red fox populations, and so caution must be exercised before data from one population areapplied to anotherpopulation.

The occurrence of wild foxes in suburbia is discussed. It is shown that in London breeding populations of foxes are found 5 km from the city centre, and in the last 3 years foxes have been recorded in the very centre of the city.The fox population in London is shown to be heavily dependent on residential habitats for both daytime harbourage and when selecting sites for natal earths. The fox population is unevenly distributed in London, with a marked clumping of the adult population during most of the year.The age structure of the population is presented, and these data are compared with data for other canid populations. Conclusions are drawn as to the effects of conventional control techniques on the age structure of a fox population.
