SKETCPI OF THE FLORA OF IPSWICH. 317, 



province of St. Paul. In the Sertao of S. Francisco, it is 

 coupled with additions which weaken its zoological interest, 

 but give it another, as betraying the only trace I have met 

 with in this district, of a belief in fairy beings. According 

 to the natives of Sertao, the Caypore is lord over the wild 

 hogs ; and sometimes when one of these animals has been 

 shot, the voice of the enraged Caypore is heard in the dis- 

 tance, and the hunter at once quits his prey to save himself 

 by flight. The Caypore is said to have been seen in the 

 centre of a herd of swine, riding on the biggest : and indeed 

 has been sometimes described as a sort of Suscentaur, that 

 is, an ape above, and a hog below. 



[This paper is rendered somewhat obscure from the circumstance that 

 the author mentions the same animal, in some instances, under two or 

 three different names, and he occasionally uses as generic terms, the names 

 by which certain species are known in their native country. The Capivar 

 is the Hydrochcerus Capyhara of most systematic works ; the Paca is the 

 Ccelogenys suhniger of authors ; Cutia, is generally used in the paper for 

 the genus Dasyprocta ; by Perea, is meant the Cavia Aperea or Cavia 

 Cohaya. Sy nether es and Echimys are systematic names, and have the ad- 

 vantage of being intelligible. The local names being spelt in all manner 

 of ways, and often very numerous, are difficult to recollect.]
