Section D.— SUINA. 



Large or medium-sized Artiodactyla, with neobunodont * 

 molars, al)sence of complete fusion of third and fourth meta- 

 carpals and metatarsals to form cannon-bones, and the skin 

 either covered with sparse bristly hairs, or more or less 

 nearly naked ; no cranial appendages. 



The distribution includes the greater part of the world, 

 exclusive of Australia and New Zealand ; but to what extent 

 the Suina now inhabiting south-eastern Asia liave been 

 introduced by human agency is uncertain. 



The existing members of the section are divisible into 

 the two following families t : — 



A. Head with an elongated mobile snout, terminating 



in an expanded, truncated, nearly naked, flat, 



oval disc in which the nostrils are pierced Siiidce, 



B. Head with a broad and rounded bristly muzzle... Hippopotamidce. 



* Stehlin, Ahli. schtveiz. pal. Ges. vol. xxviT p. 124, 1899 ; a term 

 denoting a type of tubercular (bunodont) dentition with traces of a 

 selenodont structure ; whether this is a distinct modification or a 

 derivative from decadent selenodontism is still uncertain. 



t The writer follows Trouessart and Max Weber in regarding the 

 peccaris as a subfamily of Suuhf instead of a separate famil3'.
