104 ON THE MALAYAN AND PAPUAN PIGS. 



papuensis überall beobaclitet, wo ich an der Kuste voa 

 Neu Guinea war , dass ist von Freshwater-Bai bis Keppel- 

 Bai an der Südostküste , und au der Ostküste von Ostcap 

 bis Humboldt-Bai ! Auf den d'Eutrecasteaux und in Neu 

 Brittannien giebt es ebenfalls Wildschweine , doch habe 

 icli nie welche geseheu , nur die Hauer. Dasselbe gilt von 

 Neu Irland." 



N. B. There has been described in the Trans. Linn. Soc. 

 London, 1879, p. 276, a Pig from Ter nate under the name 

 Sus ternatensis Meyer. It is a young specimen and was 

 lent to Prof. Rolleston by Dr. A. B. Meyer : Prof. Rolleston 

 stated , that in colouring of the head it differs from that 

 of any other Sus seen by Dr. Meyer or figured by Schlegel 

 — the head being covered all over with long black hairs , 

 except in the region occupied by a broad yellowish brown 

 streak beginning between the eyes and descending to the 

 snout, where it broadens. 



I strongly suspect that it is a young Sus niger and that 

 the yellowish brown streak is a merely accidental one.
