The wild pig of the Archipelago is in all likelihood identical 

 with the race found on the mainland, which Blyth, in 1863 t, 

 considered to be distinct from the race inhabiting India. This 

 point, however, has yet to be decided, as the three foregoing 

 specimens are unfortunately comparatively young animals, and 

 moreover all of one sex. 



This species is the most numerous and widely spread mammal in 

 the Archipelago.
