THE WILD BOAR OF INDIA. 7 



he saw the biggest boar being killed ; he (Ferguson) and 

 the Sultan Saheb had the killing of it; though an im- 

 mense boar, he showed no fight, and measured only 39", 

 so I believe after all that 42" boars are a myth. Now, 

 about the size of boars' tusks. The annexed cut represents 

 the two biggest tusks I have seen; unfortunately they 

 were not from pig killed at any of my meets, both were 

 given to me by that well-known sportsman, Bob Ander- 

 son, who, poor fellow, has gone to happier hunting- 

 grounds. The first tusk A was found by some coolies 

 while driving for pigs in the Goreebpore jungle, and the 

 second B was one of a pair from a boar killed by 

 Archie Hills and Bob Anderson somewhere near Non- 

 donpore. Both these tushes measured about 9| to 10 

 inches.
