THE BABIHOUSSA.

feet, and especially on the anterior part of the head and 

 sides of the face and under jaw. (Fig. 28.) Closely as 

 the sicin lies, it becomes thrown into a series of regular 

 and prettily arranged wrinkles or furrows with the dif- 

 ferent movements of the body, and varying in direction 

 accordingly. As the animal turns to one side, these fur- 

 rows are transverse ; in other attitudes they become more 

 or less oblique ; but none are to be seen when the animal 

 stands still or lies quietly on its straw. The tail is rather 

 long, slender, and tapering; the limbs are well propor- 

 tioned, and do not appear to be longer, in relation to the 

 size of the body, than in the hog ; the tusks of the upper 

 jaw (in the present individual) are at present small, but 

 curved back.
