but gave as he supposed a figure of each ; his figures, however, which 

 are of no value, both refer to the present species, and bear no resemblance 

 to the white-lipped Peccary, {D. labiatus.) 



It is somewhat strange that Grifffth, in his " Animal Kingdom," which 

 he states was arranged by Baron Cu^qER, should have completely misun- 

 derstood D'AzAKA, (Histoire Naturelle, torn, i., p. 31,) and reversed the 

 habits of the two species, (Cuvier, Animal Kingdom, by GRiFFrrH, vol. iii., 

 P- 411,) giving D'AzARA as authority for applying the habits of the pre- 

 sent species, Tajassu, {Dycotyles torquatus,) to those of his Tagnicati, (JD. 

 labiatus) giving at the same time a pretty good figure of the latter. It 

 may however be easily seen that the whole object of D'Azara's article 

 on these species was to correct the very error into which Griffith has 

 fallen.
