ety s and having the affiftance of my ingenious Friend 
Waller Efq. and Mr. Hunt in making the H^^^^r^/ ; I 
think I may be able to give fome better notice or ^t, than 
what hitherto we have received. 
But it will be convenient firft of all, to tell what it is 
we are going to delcribe. The Indian names of this km- 
mzl^YQ^^uauhtla Coy mail, & §luari^otl oy Coyametl, feu 
^Imuhcoyametl as in xkiz Mexico Hijtory. Oviedus faith, 
the Indians call it Chuchie, In Lerius^ Gomara, Margra- 
vius^ Gul. Pifo, Sec. it is called Tajacu, Tajacu Caaigoaru. 
by Jofephus a Cofta^ and others, Z^ino, or Sciyno and by 
Jo. Faher one of the Lyncean Academy,2iXidi who hath wrote 
the largeft on this Animal of any I have met with, it is 
called Ap^r Mexicanus ; and for a reafon 1 fliall after- 
wards give, I have added the Epithet M<9/(r/;//"^rz^j-; to di- 
ftinguifli it from any other that may be met with there. 
The whole Jhape of this Animal is fuch, that we may 
eafily reduce it to the Swine h^nd 5 as plamly appears by 
our Figure, which is much more exac3:, than either that in 
Hernandez ; where the Snout ^ and head feems too flender, 
nor did we obferve that white ring about the Nec'v j 
which is there conjedurally defcribed. Or that in Tifo, 
Johnfton.Scc. where it ispidured with large Mufiachios^ 
and a Tayle. But it wa$ much leffer then our ufual Hoggs ^ 
for from the end of the body, where the Tavle ftiould be, 
to the top of the head between the ears, was two foot and 
two inches from thence, to the end of the nofe, XI. In- 
ches. The Girth of the body, two foot. The girth of the 
neck, 16 Inches; of the head in the largeft place 18 In- 
ches; and ot the Snout 12 Inches. For the lower jF^n? in 
this Mexico-Hog, was more protuberant, and xSx^head lefs 
tapering then in our Si^m^ ; and in the Sceleton appears, 
much like that of the Bahy I{oujfa only it had not thofe 
teeth ^ and the iV^^r.^ appeared fo very fhort and thick, 
not from thofe large glands, which in fome of tht Swine 
kind do fofturFout their necks ; but from the fhort turn-
