with that of the European form (S, scropha) except that the nasals 

 are short and the anterior palatine foramina agree with those of 

 the Indian form (Sus cristatus). 



B'lyth in his catalogue further distinguished no less than four 

 different Indian races, (i) the typical Indian race, with the narrow 

 occipital vertex, about i ^ inches wide at the narrowest point, found 

 all over India and Ceylon, (2) the Bengal race, with the wide 

 occipital plane, about 2}l inches across, (3) the Tenasserim race 

 considerably smaller; (4) a distinct Ceylonese race, with a very 

 large posterior molar. 



On comparing the skulls, which have been acquired by the 

 Museum since Blyth's time with Blyth's original specimens, the 

 distinction between the Bengal race and the typical Indian race 

 breaks down, and the width of the occipital plane seems to 

 be merely an individual peculiarity ; the Ceylonese skull must 

 be regarded as an abnormal one; the Tenasserim skulls, how- 

 ever, resemble that of a specimen, acquired thence more recently, 

 which may possibly be identical with Sus leucomystax of China and 

 Japan ; it is possible that this latter race may have been imported 

 from China and have run wild in Tenasserim.
