94 ON THE MALAYAN AND PAPUAN PIGS 



natives pursue and destroy it where they can. Its flesh is 

 somewhat ruder and less tasteful than that of the Banen, 

 so that the Chinese like it but little and it nearly never 

 is to be eaten by the Europeans. 

 Habitat. Java.

(See S. Muller, Verhandelingen). We often saw the 

 traces of this Pig along the banks of the river Doeson 

 and in the Lawut-lands, but only observed the animal 

 itself a few times , once a sow with four youngs , in the 

 western part of the Lawut-lands. The adult female, figu- 

 red in the » Verhandelingen" has been hunted by the Dajaks 

 with dogs in the neighborhood of the village Poeloe- 

 lampej , at a little distance from the river Moloekko , in a 

 high forest. The Dajaks along the river Doeson call Sus 

 harhatus: Bahoei or Bawoeï (the tame Pig Oenek), the 

 Bejadjoe-Dajaks call it Bawoeï himha (Forest-Pig, dutch 

 Boschvarken). The Malays and Europeans bestow this wild 

 Pig with the name Bahi poetih (white Pig, dutch ivit 

 varken) on account of the light color of its skin and bristles. 

 Habitat. Borneo, Pontianak, Pleyharie and Banjermassiug. 

 N. B. Sus longirostris Nehring is a species chiefly based 

 upon skulls , no judicious naturalist has seen it in living state
