3. HyEMOSCHUS. 
Underlip and chin rather nakedish, with scattered hairs. The 
hinder edge of the metatarsus hairy, with a large callosity on the 
outer side near the heel. Two lateral toes elongate, with large 
tapermg hoofs. The intermaxillary is very short, oblong, trun- 
cated behind, and placed on the front end of the truncated max- 
illa. The sides are spotted (like the Meminna). 
These animals have much the habit of pigs. They take their 
food in the water; are called Deer Pigs by the French colonists 
in West Africa. ; 
Dr. Hugh Falconer (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1843) gave some account 
of the osteology of the foot of this animal; and in his MSS. he 
informs me he has proposed to call the genus Amphimoschus. 
M. de Blainville has regarded it as the recent type of Anoplothe- 
rium. In the form of the feet it is very nearly allied to a fossil 
genus found in Auvergne, which M. A. Bravard has described 
under the name of Cainotherium (1835). 
The metacarps of Moschus aquaticus are distinct along their 
whole length; its fore-leg, from the carpus downwards, is un-
