The two specimens procured, the skin and skull of a young male 

 (No. 1-10958) and the skull of an adult female (No. 110959), are, as 

 already stated in the original description of Si/>^ 7)ah/\ not sufficient to 

 make possible a definite identification of the Engano pig. Doctor 

 Abbott writes of the animal as follows: 



"■ Pigs are very common in Engano, but are never kept tame. They 

 are said to be descended from animals which swam ashore from a 

 stranded ship, perhaps twent3'-live 3^ears ago. The natives say that 

 previous to this none existed. One afternoon, while I was on shore, 

 a pig swam off from the mainland bound for Pulo Dua. He had nearly 

 reached the schooner's anchorage when the noise made by the crew 

 frightened him and he turned back to the main island. There were 

 no boats by the schooner at the time or the animal could readilv have 

 been caught."

"Musangs were ver}" common, and their droppings coukl be seen 

 everywhere in the paths. I did not succeed in trapping any, however, 

 and the one specimen taken was brought in b}- natives. It is doubtless 

 an introduced species. There were a few on Pulo Dua,"
