BABYROUSSA. 
M. Adanson, " one of those enormous Wild 
Boars which are peculiar to Africa. It was 
black, like those of Europe ; but, in stature, 
it was vastly taller. It had' four large tusks ; 
the two superior of which bent in a circular 
form toward the front, and had the appearance 
of horns." This, surely, could be no other 
than the Babyroussa ; though M. Adanson is 
mistaken, in calling it the Wild Boar peculiar 
to Africa.
