1. sus. 337 



The skull of this spscies is more nearly allied to the Babirussa 

 than any others of the Pigs (,SW), the part in front of the canines 

 being rather more produced than in other species, hut not nearly so 

 much so as in Babirussa ; and the two hinder upper cutting-teeth 

 are very small and often deciduous. In the skull of the adult 

 male, for example, they were very small, but the pits they filled are 

 present ; in the adult female, the pits they filled are entirely oblite- 

 rated. By a curious coincidence, the second upper cutting-teeth on 

 the right side of the jaws of the skuUs of both the male and female 

 animals are wanting, and the pits they filled are obhterated ; but 

 this may be only an accidental circumstance, as the tooth on the 

 other side is well developed.
