SUS-STUDIKS. 167 



towards the tip of the tail (plate 5, fig. 1). The skin of 

 the body shows a beautiful flesh-color, the hairs on it are 

 scantily planted, each hair is black with a whitish long 

 backward curved tip. The most strikes however the peculiar 

 shape and ornament of the head (plate 8) ; mean- 

 while the distance between the ears is not more than 9,5 

 cm., and that from ear to eye 7,5 cm., the distance between 

 eye and end of muzzle is not less than 31 cm.; the feebly 

 impressed enormous profile-line is therefore of an extra- 

 ordinary length and ends rather abruptly in the very 

 broad and large flesh-colored front of the muzzle, as it 

 were in a broad fleshy disk ; the part of the muzzle adjoining 

 this disk is destitute of hairs; follows a broad band of 

 short black stifl" hairs; from there till nearly to the eyes 

 there is a mass of curled very elongated whitish bristly 

 hairs, covering two well-developed protuberances and on 

 the sides of the cheeks forming a large wild beard, a good 

 deal stronger developed than in Sics barbatus. Ears smaller 

 than in other pigs and of an oval shape. I fail to detect 

 essential differences between our two living animals, merely 

 that in the younger male the hairs on the back seem to 

 be somewhat larger and more numerous and that of course 

 the whitish beard is less developed. 



Our younger skin has the head not so hairy, that is to 

 say the haii's generally are shorter although the elongated 

 cheek-beard is rather good developed; the protuberances 

 are in loco, they however bear short whitish yellow bristles; 

 distance between ear and eye 5 cm., between eye and end 

 of the muzzle 20 cm. ; a kind of mane of elongated flexible 

 bristles from between the ears along the spine, these bristles 

 are for the greatest part whitish yellow from base to tip, 

 others black to the base have very long whitish yellow 

 tips, and among them are several entirely black bristles. 



I regret it very much that it at present is an impossi- 

 bility to enter into osteological details because it might 

 be called somewhat barbarous to kill the two so interesting 

 animals for that purpose; later on therefore I hope to be
