The Wild Boar of the Holy Land, described by Mr. Tristram, may 

 be the same. He observes : — 



" Abundant in the wooded hills and maritime plains alike. 

 Swarms in all the thickets by the Jordan and Dead Sea, and in the 

 forest-(!Ountry east of Jordan. Extends even to the bare wilderness 

 of Judsea, and almost into the desert, where there is no cover, and 

 where its only food is the roots of the desert bulbs." — Trisfravt, 

 P. Z. S. 1866, p. 84.
