THE BEARDED PIG IN THE MALAY PENINSULA. 205 
appended in which is included for comparison measurements of 
normal specimens of the ordinary central Malayan form, Sxs 
jubatus, Miller, from which it will at once be seen how greatly Sus 
barbatus ditfers in size. 
For the benefit of the non-technical sportsman, who may meet 
the Bearded Pig in the field. we may state that it may at once be 
recognized :— 
(1) By its large size, elongated and narrow head and by the 
ereat height at the shoulder and narrow dorsal ridge, 
(2) By its pale colour compared to the ordinary local form, 
(3) By its beard and by the possession between the eye and 
the nostril on each side of the muzzle of a large warty 
outgrowth covered with bristles, which is large and con- 
spicuous in males, smaller in females, but always visible 
eveh in young animals. 
From the accounts available it would appear that Sumatran, 
Rhio Archipelago and Malayan animals are more scantily haired 
than those from Borneo. This was certainly the case with the 
Bintang specimen recorded in the table when seen in the flesh.
