were a presentiment that the southern Pig should speci- 

 fically differ from the northern species. Therefore it may be 

 called a mere unfortunate chance that Prof. Nehring did 

 not observe that by figuring side by side on Taf. I a male 

 from South-Celebes together with a female from Miuahassa, 

 North-Celebes, he saw not that he had reproduced the 

 skulls of specimens belonging to two distinct species! — 

 For the skull of the male from Saleyer-island, South-Celebes 

 (fig. 1) is much larger than a typical celebensis-skuW, and 

 besides other differences it above all lacks a very impor- 

 tant and striking characteristic, namely, the prolonged 

 intermaxilla beyond the anterior border of the upper in- 

 cisors, — this characteristic is so exceedingly clear repro- 

 duced in the female-skull (fig. 2) from North-Celebes, a 

 skull of the true celebensis. By the way I see from Nehriugs 

 drawings of Pigs from the Philippines — I personally 

 never saw a skin or a skull from these islands — (Taf. I, 

 figs. 3, 3a, 36 and 4) that the Philippine-skulls do share 

 this characteristic with the North-Celebes-skulls. I propose 

 to call the South-Celebian species after the so meritorious 

 author of so many Pig-studies

As I remarked we possess no skins from South-Celebes; 

 the bony parts at my disposal are : 



1. Skull of a fullgrown female, South-Celebes, collected 

 by Dr. Beinstein, 1866 {d of my Catalogue osteologique, 

 by a mistake registered as »semi-adulte)." 



2. Skull of a just fullgrown female, from South-Celebes, 

 Loka, near Bonthaiu, collected by Prof. Max Weber, 1888. 



3. Skull of a young female, South-Celebes, Kadjang, Weber. 



\) Writing down these lines 1 hear that iu the Journals is announced the 

 lamented death of my friend Dr A. Nehring! We are convinced that his 

 name never will be forgotten by working Mamraalogists! He may rest in 

 jjacel 17 October 1904.
