 Head conical, about one and a half times as long as high at the 

 condyles, without any, or only a very small wart on the side of the 

 head. Ears ovate. The upper canines of the males recurved, with a 

 more or less large keeled ridge across the sheath at their base. Lower 

 canines of the males triangular, flat on the outer side and keeled in 

 front.

The adult specimen received from the Earl of Derby hved long in 

 confinement, and was sent as a male, but it has no external appear- 

 ance of so being, and the canines are small and scarcely exposed. The 

 head is without any warts on the cheeks, the ears are ovate and 

 moderate. The tail is elongate, slender, naked except for a few bristly 

 hairs at the end. The skin is nakedish, with scattered very slender 

 bristles, which are longer on the back and sides, but longest and most 

 abundant at the front of the shoulders and at the outside of the upper 

 arms, where they are blacker. There are numerous hahs on the 

 inner side of the front of the fore legs ; a number of very short erect 

 hairs over the upper part of the nose and fi'ont of the chin, where they 

 are longer, making in fact a blackish muzzle, which is also to be seen 

 in the young specimen. Length to base of tail, 59 in. Tail, 12 in. 



The young specimen has much more abundant and longer hair, pale 

 yellowish brown, the longer black hair forming a broad central 

 vertebral line and three indistinct lines on the sides, and on the sides 

 of the head. The skull of this animal, which is also said to be a male, 

 but exhibits no external mark of being so, is evidently that of a young 

 animal, with the hinder grinders in each jaw not developed, and indeed 

 only slightly marked. The central cutting-teeth are small, lobed at 

 the end. The hinder lateral cutting-teeth are rather elongate and 

 slightly bent outwards. 



It appears to me rather to belong to the genus Sus than Porcula.
