SUKOTYRO. 227 



of a hog: the ears long and rough; and the tail 

 thick and bushy. The eyes are placed upright 

 in the head, quite differently from those of other 

 quadrupeds. On each side the head, next to 

 the eyes, stand the horns, or rather teeth, not 

 quite so thick as those of an Elephant. This ani- 

 mal feeds upon herbage, and is but seldom tak- 

 en. It is a native of Java, and is called by the 

 Chinese Sukotyro. This is all the description 

 given by Niewhoff. The figure is repeated in 

 Churchill's Collection of Voyages and Travels, 

 vol. 2. p. 360. Niewhoff was a Dutch traveller, 

 who visited the East Indies about the middle of 

 the last century, viz. about the year^ U&& ; and 

 continued his peregrinations for several years. It 

 must be confessed that some of the figures intro- 

 duced into his works are not remarkable for their 

 accuracy.
