WILD T10G, 4.29 
A left upper tusk of a Boar from the newer pliocene beds 
near Brighton presented a broader longitudinal internal 
strip of enamel than in those tusks of the Wild Boar of 
Europe or India which I had for comparison ; the longitu- 
dinal groove along the unenamelled part was also deeper 
in the fossil. 
The Rev. Mr. Green of Bacton submitted to my inspec- 
tion the extremity of the tusk of a Wild Boar, and the 
crown of a tubercular molar of a young Hog, which he had 
obtained from the blue clay and submerged forest bed at 
Hasbro’ on the Norfolk coast. These remains of the genus 
Sus were in the same fossilized condition as the bones and 
teeth of the extinct species of Mammalia from the same 
locality ; and I believe them to have been of equal anti- 
quity. These instances of unequivocal fossil remains of the 
Hog tribe are, however, very rare. 
The fine skull of the Wild Boar (fig. 172,) discovered by 
Capt. Manning in a fissure of the freestone quarries in the 
Isle of Portland, and described by Dr. Buckland at a late 
meeting of the Geological Society, has not such decided 
claims to an equal antiquity with the Mammoth and Tro- 
gonthere, and it is unquestionably identical with the exist- 
ing species of Huropean Wild Boar. [owe to Dr. Buckland’s 
kindness the opportunity of figuring this fossil, which is pre- 
served in Capt. Manning’s collection at Portland Castle. 
I have received remains of a Hog, associated with bones 
of a Brown Bear (Ursus Arctos) and other existing species 
of Mammalia, which were obtained by Mr. Whitwell of 
Kendal, from a limestone cavern at Arnside Knott, near 
that town. 
The anterior part of the left ramus of the jaw of a Hog 
has been obtained from the drift formation at Kessling- 
land, Suffolk.
