"the two principal colors are less sharply circumscribed 

 "and feebler, so that the distribution of the colors is less 

 "distinctly visible." This is quite correctly expressed, for 

 in our rather young specimen there merely is a shadow 

 of bands, in older specimens the fur makes a black im- 

 pression observed at certain distance, although a nearer 

 inspection learns that there are black and brownish red 

 bristles rather irregularly planted. From between the eyes 

 longer bristles are to be seen of a black colour running 

 over the spine of the back and forming in the nape of 

 the neck a kind of crest. Over the snout and on the 

 cheeks and sides of lower jaw the bristles are yellow red; 

 opening of lacrymal glauds beset with reddisch brown 

 hairs. According to Muller the lower part of the legs is 

 somewhat lighter colored than the other parts ; the same 

 observer reported that the iris is light or yellowish brown 

 and the nose sooty black. 



8. Sus celebensis S. Muller. 



The Celebes-pig, figured in » Verhandelingen" Tab. 28bis, 

 fig. 1, drawn after the type-specimen, a very adult male, 

 from Forsten's collections made in Nortb-Celebes, is charac- 

 terized by a distinct tuft of light colored bristles on the 

 hindpart of each cheek; this tuft is to be seen in very 

 young specimens as well as in very adult ones. In half- 

 grown individuals there is like in vittatus a broad yello- 

 wish or brownish colored band on the snout, running like 

 in that species over the sides of the head towards the lower 

 parts of the neck ; this band is sometimes more or less 

 inconspicuous, but never wholly absent nay in adult speci- 

 mens. In adult animals there is a small wart on each 

 side of the snout just straight above the corner of the 

 mouth, although less developed in females than in males. 

 Between the ears there is a kind of black crest of elongated 

 bristles, diminishing in length along the spine of the back. 

 The young ones are adorned with very sharply traced broad
