Typical locality Kolozsvar (or Klausenburg), Transyl- 

 vania ; limits of range to eastward not yet ascertained. 



Considerably larger than typical race, upper skull-length 

 about I7f inches (452 mm.); woolly under-fur present; 

 general colour apparently rather lighter than in typical race. 

 This eastern representative of the wild boar bears almost 

 exactly the same relation to the typical German animal as is 

 presented by the maral or eastern red deer (supra, p. 126) to 

 the red deer of Western Europe ; and if the maral be regarded 

 as a subspecies rather than a full species, the same view 

 must be held in the case of the eastern wild boar.
