3. HYEMOSCHUS. 



Underlip and chin rather nakedish, with scattered hairs. The 

 hinder edge of the metatarsus hairy, with a large callosity on the 

 outer side near the heel. Two lateral toes elongate, with large 

 tapering hoofs. The intermaxillary is very short, oblong, trun- 

 cated behind, and placed on the front end of the truncated max- 

 illa. The sides are spotted (like the Meminna). 



These animals have much the habit of pigs. They take their 

 food in the water ; are called Deer Pigs by the French colonists 

 in West Africa. 



Dr. Hugh Falconer (Proc. ZooL Soc. 1843) gave some account 

 of the osteology of the foot of this animal; and in his MSS. he 

 informs me he has proposed to call the genus Amphimoschits. 

 M. de Blainville has regarded it as the recent type of Anoplothe- 

 rium. In the form of the feet it is very nearly allied to a fossil 

 genus found in Auvergne, which M. A. Bravard has described 

 under the name of Cainotherium (1835). 



The metacarps of Moschus aquaticus are distinct along their 

 whole length ; its fore-leg, from the carpus downwards, is un-
