WILD HOG. 427 
of the upper jaw from the cavern at Sundwich, described 
by Prof. Goldfuss. 
Dr. Buckland * includes the molar teeth and a large 
tusk of a boar found in the cave of Hutton in the Mendip 
Hills, with the true fossils of that receptacle, such as the 
remains of the Mammoth, Spelean Bear, &c. With re- 
spect to cave-bones, however, it is sometimes difficult to 
produce conviction as to the contemporaneity of extinct 
and recent species. MM. Croizet and Jobert, in their ac- 
count of the fossils of Auvergne, give more satisfactory 
evidence of the coexistence of the genus Sus with Hlephas, 
Mastodon, &e., by describing and figuring well-marked 
fossils of a species of Hog, which they discovered in the 
midst of their rich fossiliferous tertiary beds. These ob- 
servers found, however, that the facial part of their fossil Hog 
was relatively shorter than in the existing Sus scrofa, and 
they have conceived it to represent a distinct species, which 
they have called Aper (Sus) Arvernensis. Dy. Kaup has 
described fossils referable to the genus Sus from the miocene 
Eppelsheim sand, in which they were associated with fossils 
of the Mastodon and Dinotherium. The oldest fossils of the 
genus Sus from British strata which I have yet seen, are 
portions of the external incisor of the lower jaw (fig. 173), 
from fissures in the red crag (probably miocene) of New- 
bourne near Woodbridge, Suffolk. They were associated 
with teeth of an extinct Felis about the size of a Leopard, 
with those of a Bear, and with remains of a large Cervus. 
These mammalian remains were found with the ordinary 
fossils of the red crag; they had undergone the same pro- 
cess of trituration, and were impregnated with the same 
colouring matter as the associated bones and teeth of fishes 
acknowledged to be derived from the regular strata of the
