no. 1809. MAMMALS FROM BORNEO AND VICINITY— LYON. 75 



excessive wear of the teeth on these island specimens is probably due 

 to some difference in the character of the food on the island as com- 

 pared with the Bornean mainland. 



One of the females had four fetuses in utero, another seven, one nine, one ten, and 

 another eleven. One female had seven young with her. 



Very common about Pamukang Bay. Have never been in a place where pigs were 

 as common as in some localities in this district. For some reason I got only three 

 boars, but the sows with their young simply abounded. Twice while the schooner 

 was anchored at Tanjong Kramet droves of pigs attempted to swim across Klumpang 

 Bay. I was absent up river at the time. My Malay skipper went after them in a 

 small boat and bagged an old boar with a club. On the other occasion thirteen pigs 

 swam close to the vessel, but no boat was available and they passed without molesta- 

 tion. Sometimes they get into kelongs (fish fykes) at low tide. The sows appear to 

 go in gangs of three to five, both when pregnant and when they have their young. It 

 appears to take most of their time to procure sufficient food when suckling, for I met 

 with these gangs roaming about nearly all day. Sus gargantua does not appear to occur 

 in this district (Klumpang Bay region). No one had ever seen or heard of it. A 

 small black hairy pig is said to be locally plentiful. The Dyaks call it "By wangi" 

 (literally moon-pig). I saw nothing of it. It was said to be very small, the males, 

 with tusks, the size of goats or less. It is probably some sort of Sus vittatus. — W. L. A.
