THIS animal is a variety of the Common Hog, from which it differs only 

 in the following particulars. Its legs are fhorter ; its belly hangs almoft to 

 the ground ; its tail reaches to its heels ; and the hairs on the. body are fo 

 thinly fcattered, that it appears almoft naked. The breed came originally 

 from the Eaft Indies ; but it is now common in England, where its fize is 

 become larger and the hair thicker. Its colour is generally black. It is 

 thought to fatten more eahly than any other kind, and to make better pork 

 and bacon. The fucking Pigs of this variety are in high eftimation for the 

 table.
