FOSS (The), a river of Yorkshire. It rises near Yeardsley, in the N. Riding; and runs southward, about 16 miles, past Brandsby, - Stillington, Strensall, Towthorpe, and Huntington, to the Ouse, at York. It was made navigable to Stillington, under acts of parliament, passed in 1793 and 1801; and the navigable line of it is 12½ miles long, and includes a short canal which avoids a considerable bend of the river.
