Hydropotes argyrojnis, Heude. 



Pere Heude, in ' Comptes Rendus des Seances de 

 I'Academie des Sciences,' torn, xcviii. p. 1017 (1884), gives 

 the name of " Hi/dropotes argyropus " for the Korean Hydro- 

 potes ; but his description is very short. Tiierefore Mr. Ly- 

 dekker inserted the synonym of H. inermis, Swinhoe, in 

 * Catalogue of Ungulate Mammals,' vol. iv. p. 258 (1915). 

 But I think it a different species, from the following descrip- 

 tion of a specimen in my school, and I propose to use for it 

 Heude's name '' Hydropotes argyropusy 

 Locality. — Mokpo, Zen ran an do, Korea.

 Swinhoe; the tips of the tusks curve slightly inwards,

 ously outward curve. The distance of tusk to P^ very 

 short. General colour lighter.

 matic breadth 75 ; nasal length 59 ; infraorbital breadth 35;

Sus cereanus, Heude. 



Pere Heude, in his 'Memoires d'Histoire Naturelle de 

 I'empire Chinois,' torn. iii. 1896, pp. 191-192, gives the 

 name of " Sus coreanvs''^ after an examination of three skulls
