size, produced by crossing the Chinese Pig with the Wild 

 Pig of North America. The other larger, from the crossing 

 of the English Pig with the Chinese. 



(6.) The Jutland race is distinguished by an elongated 

 body and pendant ears, but especially by the curve of the 

 back and length of the limbs. It is a considerable object 

 of commerce. 



(c.) The race of Zealand is smaller than the preceding. 

 Its ears are rather raised, and the back well furnished with 

 silky hair. The individuals of this race, when fat, yield 

 from one hundred and sixty to two hundred pounds of lard. 



(oJ.) The races of Poland and Russia are generally very 

 small, and of a reddish colour. 



(<?.) The black race with short limbs. This race is dis- 

 tinguished by the shortened proportions of the head, the 

 folds of skin above the eyes, thick jaws, small neck, broad 

 back, few hairs, except bristles, long body, and small 

 straight ears. It is proper to the south of Europe, and the 

 race of Bergamo is confounded with it. From these Pigs 

 are, or ought to be made, the Bologna sausages. 



(/.) The races of France are principally that of the valley 

 of Auge in Normandy ; the head of which is small and 

 pointed; the ears narrow, the body long and thick, the 

 hair white and scanty, and the bones in general small ; 

 weight about six hundred pounds : that of Poitou, with a 

 strong head and projecting forehead, large and pendant 

 ears, elongated body, rough hair, legs large, and yet the 

 weight not within a hundred pounds of the last : that of 

 Perigord, with black and rough hair, short and thick neck, 

 thick but compact body. This last race, mingled with the 

 preceding, produces an intermediate race, which is pied, 

 and very much in request. 



(g) The race with a single toe, or rather with three 

 united, is doubtless one of the most important to the 

 naturalist. This singular race, which was known to Ari-
