No. VI 11 .—BREEDING OF WILD PIG {SUS CRISTATUS). 



On loth April 1914, 1 saw them in copula. On 20th-25th May 1 shot 

 two sows with 7 and 5 embryos practically fully developed, i.e., with 

 all parts of the bodies well distinguishable. The 7 were more advanced 

 than the 5. One of the 7 was given to Mr. 0. A. Crump for the mammal 

 survey, but the others I did not keep. On 18th July a lot of young ones 

 were caught and others were killed. Some were only about one day old, as 

 their navel strings had not dried up and fallen off, others were two or three 

 days old and there were others which were anything from 10 to 15 days old. 



AH these little pigs were marked very similarly to the 5 striped squirrel 

 {lunariibulus pennantii) . 



On August 5th, I obtained two young females not more than 24 hours 

 old. These two were veiy dark as regards their stripes, in fact very like 

 soHie of the very dark squirrels (F. pennantii) Mr. Crump send you from 

 Nirnia ghat. 



Whilst beating my men came across a freshly made shelter, showing that 

 a sow was about to produce, and as a result we were able to trace the soun- 

 der which was close by, but unfortunately I was unable to secure any as- 

 my rifle failed me. On September 11th while out shooting some of my beaters 

 picked up the body of a squeaker not more than 48 hours old (the navel 

 wound was not completely healed) which had evidently been killed by a 

 sow biting a large piece out of its face.

No. IX.— WILD PIG (SUS CRIST ATT/ S) CROSSING WATER. 



This morning just after dawn 1 saw seven pigs cross the Burakar river, 

 current about IJ miles an hour, point of crossing about 45 to 50 yards wide. 

 Two were full grown sows ? and five were very small squeakers. 

 The squeakers followed close behind the two grown up pigs.
