continuing to grow as long as the animal lives^ 
which is sometimes twenty-five years. In the; 
clephant and sea-cow, they are cylindrical, 
and placed in the upper jaw only ; but, in the; 
Wild Boar and Hog, they are flat, and arm 
both jaws : those in the under being the most 
formidable, and chiefly used by the Wild Boar 
to wound it's assailants. The tusks of the 
"Wild Boar, are larger than those of the do- 
mestic Hog, being sometimes ten inches in 
length i it's head is also longer, and it's snout 
has more strength : it's feet, too, are larger, 
and it's toes more separated. The Wild Boar 
is always black ; or rather, perhaps, of an 
iron grey, inclining to black. 
The Hog is considered as the rudest and 
most brutal of quadrupeds^ it is, in fa6l, a 
compleat pidture of sensuality ! All it's ha- 
bits are gross ; all it's appetites impure : all 
it's sensations confined to a furious lust, and 
a brutal gluttony. It devours, indiscriminate- 
ly, every thing that comes in it's way ; fre-

after their birth: yet, it is remarkable, it 
never attacks or devours other living animals.
