MALAY TAPIR. 



The individual described on page 153. Note the curious 

 antediluvian appearance of the animal. The stout, smooth, 

 heavy body, is well adapted for forcing a passage through the 

 tangled jungle. The pied colouration almost suggests that a 

 white saddlecloth had been thrown over the back ; hence the 

 trade name of "saddle back tapir."
