 p. 749. 



Malay name "Babi utan " or Babi bakau." 

 Like Sus jubatus but with a notable sprinkling of reddish 

 bristles on the posterior half of back. 



Compared with the other pigs of this region it is immedi- 

 ately recognisable by the reduced condition of the last molar ; 

 in the lower jaw it may terminate abruptly at the third cross 

 ridge which is often reduced to a single median tubercle, or a 

 minute supplemental tubercle may occur behind this ridge. 



Height at shoulder about 28 inches, upper length of skull 

 13o inches. 



This is the largest member of the vittatus group of island 

 pigs and is the only one found on the Asiatic mainland where 

 it is known at present from Johore and Muar buc the line 

 where it meets with the representative of the continental 

 cristatus animal is not yet defined. The Singapore wild pig is 

 probably of this species.
