298 THE ZOOLOGIST. 
Family Supa. 
Phacocherus africanus.—I have only noted two quotations for 
Warthogs: £7 10s. for a four months oid male, and £14 for a 
female. 
Sus scrofa.—The following may be taken as ordinary prices 
for European Wild Swine :— Young (Frischlinge), £1 15s. to 
£2 10s. each. Young (Uberliufer), £4 to £4 5s. each. Sows, 
£5 to £6 each. Boars, £5 10s. to £6 10s. each. 
Babirusa alfurus.—The Babirusa, or Wild Pig of the Celebes, 
has recently been offered at £40 and £50 a head, but I am not 
aware whether or not any specimens changed hands at these 
prices. 
Potamocherus africanus.—The African Bush-Pig is not un- 
frequently offered for sale at prices varying from £7 10s. to £15 
per head for young animals, but as much as £17 10s. and £20 
have been asked. 
P. penicillatus. —The Red River-Hog is a more expensive 
animal, being valued at from £25 to £40 per head. 
Dicotyles tajagu and D. labiatus. — The American Wild Blea 
or Peccaries, appear to be of very little value in Kurope, com- 
pared to African or Hast Asiatic Pigs. The Collared Peccary has 
been quoted at from £1 15s. to £2 5s. per head, and the White- 
lipped Peceary at from £2 to £2 10s. 
Order EDENTATA. 
Family Brapypopipm. 
The Sloth, Cholepus didactylus, changes hands in Europe at 
from £17 to £20. 
Family Dasypopipm. 
The Common Armadillo, Dasypus villosus, may sometimes 
be purchased in Europe for as little as £1 (only fifteen shillings 
has been asked !), but £2 to £3 is a more usual price. The only 
other Armadillo of which I have any personal experience is the 
long-tailed Cabassus (or Xenurus) unicinctus ; a Hamburg dealer 
once sold me a fine pair of these animals for £10. 
Family MyrmiecopHacip™. 
Myrmecophaga jubata, Great Ant-eater.—£30, young; £40, 
adult.
