442 ZOOLOGY. 
2. The Champagne race, very large too, body elongated, legs high, head and 
ears long, the latter pendent; hams proportionally small. 3. The Bavarian 
race, with delicate structure of the limbs and fine bristles, generally reddish 
brown spotted. 4. The Poland race, very large, yellowish, with a brown 
stripe along the back. 5. The Westphalian race, of a considerable size 
and very prolific. 6. The ordinary German race, not very large, white, 
grey, black, or spotted. 7. The African race, with a compressed body, 
straight ears, and remarkably thick and round hams. 8. The Chinese hog, 
which has been introduced into England and Germany: it is small, the 
dorsal line very much elongated, short limbs, a thick belly nearly Tenet 
the ground, a short taii, and an almost naked body. 
Fossil remains of hogs are found in America, Europe, and Asia ; those 
of Europe belong to the genus Sus proper, those of Asia and America con- 
stitute the genera Cherotherium and Harlanus. Of the genus Sus seven 
species are described, whilst others are still doubtful. 
The genus Harlanus contains but one species, first described by Dr. Har- 
lan under the name of Sus americanus, found in Georgia associated with 
bones of mastodonts, elephants, and megatherium. Remains of the same 
species have since been discovered in the lead region of Illinois. They 
resemble more Porcus babyrussa than any species of Sus. 
The genus Phacocherus, or wart-hogs, comprehends hogs of the actual 
fauna, having molars composed of cylinders cemented together by a kind 
of cortical substance, very similar to the transverse laminz of those of the 
elephant, and also succeeding each other from behind. The head is very 
large; the tusks, like canines, are inclined laterally upwards, and of a 
remarkable magnitude. On each of their cheeks hangs down a thick fleshy 
lobe, rendering them very hideous. The species of this genus are mostly 
African ; that from the Cape of Good Hope (P. @thiopicus) is represented 
on pl. 111, fig. 7. 
The genus Porcus includes Asiatic living hogs known as babiroussa or 
babyrussa (p. 111, fig. 4), as the name has been latinized. They are 
slender and more elegantly constructed animals than the other members 
of the family. The canines are conical, and directed upwards and back- 
wards, almost crescent-shaped. There are five molars above and five 
below on each side ; four incisors to the upper jaw and six below. Fossil 
remains of this genus have been discovered in the Sivalic Mountains 
(Himalaya), showing once more that genera which have existed during the 
tertiary epoch and are perpetuated in ours, inhabit nearly the same spot as 
that upon which they were at first placed. 
The genus Cherotherium contains one extinct species of hog, from the 
upper tertiary of the Sivalic Mountains. It is a genus peculiar to that part 
of the world, and ceased to exist before the establishment of the present 
creation. It much resembled the hogs. 
The genus Calydonius, from the tertiary beds of Switzerland, resembles 
somewhat Sus and Phacocheerus ; the canines are provided with a rough 
and striated vertical band of enamel. Only two species are known. 
Fam. 8. Eauwa. With this family we close the series of pachyderms.
