very pale grey, others of a reddish brown, with the spots less di- 
stinct. The colours evidently depend upon the age, because the old 
female (that was suckling the young at the time she was killed) is 
much larger and paler in colour than the rest. 
Called by the natives of the S.E. coast “ Alungar.”

Mr. Waters, in a note to me, says:—‘‘I send the skin and skull 
of a smal! species of Wild Boar found on the lowlands, and called 
“‘Lamboneive,” differing from the upland Wild Boar, which is much 
larger and called ‘‘ Lambohava.” 
The skin and skull now exhibited appear to be referable to the 
adult of the same animal as that which Dr. Gray described (J. s. ¢.) 
as the young of P. africanus, from a specimen received through me 
from the same collector. 
Mr. Smit’s drawing (Plate XII.) is taken from the skin now 
exhibited.
