1. sus. 337 



The skull of this species is more nearly allied to the Bafnrussa 

 tlian any others of the Pigs (Sus), the part in front of the canines 

 being rather more produced than in other species, but not nearly so 

 much so as in Babirussa ; and the two hinder upper cutting-teeth 

 are very small and often deciduous. In the skull of the adult 

 male, for example, they were veiy small, but the pits they filled are 

 present ; in the adult female, the pits they filled are entirely oblite- 

 rated. By a curious coincidence, the second upper cutting-teeth on 

 the right side of the jaws of the skulls of both the male and female 

 animals are wanting, and the pits they filled are obliterated ; but 

 this may be only an accidental circumstance, as the tooth on the 

 other side is well developed. 



8. Sus scrofa. 

 Ears large, densely hairy. Fur blackish brown, densely bristly. 

 Wart under the eye small. Skull elongate, slender ; the concavity 

 on the cheek in front of the orbit wide, shallow behind, shelving 

 towards the orbit, and only separated from it by a narrow ridge.
