SUS-STUDIES. 169 



9ach ear; they are decorated with stiff bristles, rather short 

 on the two first mentioned, but very long and thick and 

 upward curled bristles cover the protuberances under the 

 ears ; the latter kind of bristles forming a kind of small 

 beard from below these tuberances to the corner of the 

 mouth. Three folds of the skin indicate the openings of 

 the lachrymal gland. From between the ears a broad crest 

 of very thick elongated and widely apart implanted bristles 

 runs along the spine, these bristles growing shorter and 

 shorter towards the base of the tail. Ears much larger 

 than in Sus barbatus and broader, not so regularly rounded 

 off and so nicely oval shaped as in Sus barbatus ; in the 

 latter the ear-conch begins directly close to the skin, mean- 

 while in Sus verrucosus the ear forms a closed cylinder to 

 a certain distance from the skin and afterward the broadened 

 ear-conch follows. The tail is about as long as that 

 organ in Sus barbatus ; it however does not end in a tuft or 

 brush but in a few pendant bristles. 



All the bristles of head, upperparts and sides of body 

 and extremities are black, except a band between the warts 

 on the sides of the nose, another band between the base 

 of the ears on the forehead, the hindmost bristles on the 

 warts beneath the ears, a few bristles between the nose- 

 warts and the warts under the eyes, some bristles in the 

 crest and others sparingly scattered among the bristles of 

 the body — all the named bristles are reddish brown 

 colored; the belly and chest are clad with uniformly reddish 

 brown bristles; inside of ears with similar hairs. Nose 

 and lips of a dirty flesh-color; eyelids and hoofs black. The 

 six so prominent face- warts or protuberances distinguish 

 this species among all other Pigs. 



In our adult /ema/g-specimens the distribution of colors is 

 about the same as in the above-described male ; there is 

 however a difference in the warts, these parts namely are 

 all of much smaller size than in the male ; in a half- 

 grown specimen they are hardly perceptible, meanwhile 

 the very young specimens do not present a trace of them ;
