Tajacu jeu Aper Mexicanus Mofchiferus^ or the Ana-

THis Animal being fo much a ftranger to our Nati- 
on; audits inward organs, atleaftfome, foodd, 
and remarkable; lam willing to deliver my ob- 
fervations of it. They are rude, and very inperfed , 
yet fuch as they are, I the rather venture abroad, fince

ing them. 
The occafion of my making thele, was afforded me,

lealurely examining it, at the IRepofitory of the ^yal Soci-
