and never a skin of it has been brought over. If — as I 

 suggested ') — it will turn out to be Sus barbatus in very 

 advanced age, or if Nehring's view is correct must be made 

 out by future investigations.

(See Jentink, Catalogue osteologique , 1887). Three 

 skulls, Timor, Pritti. 



(See S. Muller, Verhandelingen). We have not been 

 lucky enough to procure fullgrown specimens of this spe- 

 cies, although we once saw in a forest of the mountai- 

 nous country Amarassie (Timor) a much larger individual 

 than that figured (on pi. 31): it, however, was not so tall 

 as the above mentioned species from the large western 

 Sunda-islands. It too seemed to be somewhat darker co- 

 lored than the five not fullgrown specimens collected by 

 us in the flat coast-land near Pritti. Sus timoriensis agrees 

 in external appearance very closely with Sus vittatus , and so 

 its behavior too is about the same. We observed the animal , 

 but much more its traces , in the mountains as well as in 

 the flat land, and at the occasion of a beat at Pritti we 

 often saw troops of four to seven specimens. The natives 

 call it simply Taji mepat or nassi (wild pig, dutch wild 

 varken) , the Rottinese in the same sense Baji foei.
