SUKOTYRO. 1227 
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 Suhotyro. This is all the description 
given by Niewhoff. The figure is repeated in 
Churchills 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 1563, 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.
