the nose to the angle of the jaw. Ears moderate, nakedish ; fur 

 with scattered bristles, maned. " Head without any warts." Skull 

 (young) — the concavity in front of the orbit shallow behind, and 

 only separated from the orbit by a slight ridge.

Like S. vittatus, but smaller. 



1501 a. A skull of a young animal, very like the one figured bv 

 Miiller (Verhand. t. 32. f. 2, 3) ; it is marked "young female Babi- 

 russa," from Mr. Wallace's collection. It is certainly not a Babi- 

 russa, having six upper cutting-teeth and short intermaxillaries, but 

 is more probably a young female of the preceding. It has the con- 

 cavity in front of the orbit shallow, and only separated from the 

 orbit by a narrow ridge. 



1501 c. Skull with the last grinder being developed (on one side 

 only), perhaps young male ? Inscribed " a Wild Pig, Makassar." 

 Length 10|-, height at occiput 6 inches. Nose broad behind, taper- 

 ing in front from orbit ; concavity in front of orbit large, not deep, 

 and extending close up to the edge of the cavity ; the hinder suture 

 of the parietal bone is produced and angular behind. 



1501 b. A rather larger skull, also developing the last molai-, and 

 probably a young male. A Wild Pig, Ternate, from Mr. Wallace's 

 collection. Length 12|, height 5^ inches. It is very similar to the 

 above in all particulars, particularly in the shallowness of the con- 

 cavity in front of the orbits, and in the crest-like form of the ridge 

 behind the base of the sheath of the upper canines ; hinder suture 

 of the parietal produced and rounded behind. 



The shallowness of the concavity on the cheeks of these specimens 

 may depend on the youth of the animal, as it is to be found in the 

 skull of the young Sus indicus. It is not always a character of 

 youth, as it is found shallow and shelving off behind in the skull of 

 the very old Sus andamanensis and S. scrofa. 



There is the skin and skeleton {laQl d) of a "Wild Pig from 

 Dampier Straits, in the Eastern archipelago," that was brought 

 to the Museum by Mr. Swinhoe. It does not ajjpear to differ from 

 S. timorensis of S. Miiller ; and the skull is very like the skull from 

 Ternate (1501 b). A specimen was living in the Society's Gardens, 



Mr. Bartlett thinks that it is "a domestic Pig running wild, 

 because he has seen two specimens of them, both of which had white 

 markings about the legs in a very irregular manner and other cha- 

 racters of the domestic Pig."
