ON THE DOMESTIC PIG OF 



the occipital squama; tlie transverse arc from one orbital process 

 of the frontal to the other is even more convex than in any other 

 Asiatic pig ; the zygomatic arch is short, deep, and roughly sculp- 

 tured ; the lower canine's alveolus reaches back to a prominent 

 external protuberance in the plane of the anterior lobe of the third 

 molar, a point further backwards than it usually attains to. The 

 posterior lobes of the third molars, though consisting of 4-5 cusps, 

 have not the great antero-posterior length relatively to the rest 

 of the tooth which we find in specimens of the same sex of S, 

 cristatus. 



As in 8. verrucosMSf the bony palate is nearer to the basicranial 

 bones than in most other Suidae. 



Its measurements (being those adopted by Professor Riitimeyer, 

 * Verhandlungen Gesellschaft Basel,' 1864, p. 163, from Nathusius, 

 ^ Abbildungen von Schweineschadeln,^ 1864, p. 6) are as follows : —
