long, but in hot, dry weather we generally found them abroad only in the morning 
and evening. A pig is always a comical animal; even more so than is the case with 
a bear, which always impresses one with a sense of grotesque humor—and this not- 
withstanding the fact that both boar and bear may be very formidable creatures. 
A wart-hog standing alert at gaze, head and tail up, legs straddled out, and ears cocked 
forward, is rather a figure of fun; and not the less so when with characteristic sudden- 
ness he bounces round with a grunt and scuttles madly off to safety. Wart-hogs are 
beasts of the bare plain or open forest, and though they will often lie up in patches 
of brush they do not care for thick timber.

Specumen.—One, the type, from— 
Lapo: Rhino Camp (Heller). 
The type specimen was collected on the shores of a small pond near Chief Sururu’s 
village in the vicinity of Rhino Camp. It had been killed by a lion the night previous 
to the arrival of Colonel Roosevelt’s hunting party, and the head was the only portion 
which remained uneaten. Wart-hogs were rare in the Lado Enclave, less than a 
score being seen by the members of the Smithsonian African expedition during a 
month’s sojourn in the upper Nile district. (Heller, Smithsonian Misc. Coll., vol. 61 
No: 22; p. 3, 1914.) 
The type skull is that of an immature female, in which the last 
molar is just erupting.
