As mav be seen IVom this, the pariétal area is considerablv 

 broader (51 mm.) in the boar from the district of Lake Leopold II 

 than that ot even the larçest uhmigeiisis (41,8 mm.\ In accordance 

 with this the lambdoid crest is kirger as well. The other nieasure- 

 ments indicate a narrower skull. Of some importance is perhaps the 

 smaller size of ;//' (2q,5 mm.), becanse even in sows o{ itbangciisis 

 this tooth appears to hâve a greater length than 30 mm. 



Considering the variation of the skuUs of thèse animais, 1 should 

 not hâve dared to accept the spécimens from the district of 

 Lake Léopold II as représentatives of a separate race, if D' Maes 

 had not fortunatelv had a verv good photo of the pigs the skuUs of 

 which he has delivered to the Congo Muséum. This photo shows, 

 however, that the pigs in question displav a verv characteristic 

 colour pattern. Thev hâve the face from the end of the snouth 

 and up to the eyebrows white. Then follows on the head of the 

 yotmger animal a dark area on the crown between the ears, but 

 behind the same on the nape is is a broad trianguhir whitish area 

 with the base forwards and the point continued backwards in the 

 comparativelv broad white dorsal band ('). The older spécimen is
