The skulls in the British Museum are : — 



No. 712 c. An adult skidl from Java. Length 16 inches, height 

 at occiput 8| inches (see Miiller, Verh. t. 32. f. 3, 4). Nose rather 

 broad behind, tapering from the orbits, more compressed in front ; 

 concavity on cheek very deep ; forehead convex ; zygomatic arch 

 very large, swollen, convex externally. The side of the lower jaw 

 much swollen and prominent. The nose of this skull is much wider 

 than that of the skuU from Ceram (712 d). 



Ko. 1362 a. An adult skull, without cutting-teeth and canines, 

 and rather broken on the nose, received from Mr. Wallace as the 

 skuU of S. vittatus from Borneo, is very similar to no. 712 e from 

 Java, 14| inches long, 8| inches high at the occiput. The forehead 

 not quite so convex ; but in almost all other respects they agree, 

 except that the sides of the lower jaw are not so much swollen 

 and convex. These skulls are known from those of S. vittatus by 

 the concavity in the front of the orbit being very deep, ovate, and 

 narrow behind, instead of broad and square (that is, ending in a 

 nearly straight hne). 



Three other adult skulls, apparently belonging to the same species, 

 were received without any habitat (but probably from Java or some 

 other Dutch colony) from the Utrecht Museum. One is 15 inches 

 long, 9^ inches high at the occiput ; the second 16 inches long, 

 9| inches high at the occiput ; the third, length 15, height at the 

 occiput 8| inches. 



Var. ceramica. No. 712 d. Skull, adult. A WUd Boar from 

 Ceram, collected by Mr. Wallace. Length 15 inches, height at 

 occiput 8 inches. Nose tapering, very narrow, compressed and 

 deeply concave on each side in front of the orbits ; the zygomatic 

 arch large, swollen, and convex externally ; the crest on the sheath 

 of the upper canine is narrow and short. 



No. 712/. An adult skull, obtained from the Utrecht Museum, 

 named " Siis larvatus," without any habitat, which is very like 

 712 <£ from Ceram, but considerably larger, being 16^ inches long
