very similar. The lower jaws are equally similar. Cuvier, in his 
‘Ossements Fossiles’ (vol. iii. Cochon, pl. 1. f. 1, 2, figure of the skull), 
well represents the skull of our domestic Pig. Blainville, in his 
‘Ostéographie des Mammiféres’ (Genus Sus, pl. 14), figures the 
skulls of three male Wild Boars, and of a male and female domestic 
Pig, and on pl. 5. two skulls of Sus indicus, one from Malabar and 
the other from Siam, and one of the Sus vittatus from Java. These 
skulls all have very much the same appearance, and bear no relation 
to the skull of the Japanese Pig under consideration. 
The skull of the Japanese Pig chiefly differs from the skull of the 
Wild Pigs of Europe, India, and Java, above referred to, and from 
Fig. 1. Skull of Sus scrofa ferus. Fig. 4. Palate of Sus pliciceps.
