would much incline mCj could I find but a tol/erab/e 
Agreement, to acquiefce herein: But: by comparing 
both together, I iee but very little Likenefs. A Fqx\ 
'tis true, has a large Forehead, and a flender Rcflrum • 
but in a it does not gradually grow Taper (as in 
our Subjec3*, from the Ears to the No:e) : But here the 
Forehead is Prominent, and fome what Oval or Circular 
then makes a remarkable Break ; whence is protruded a 
(IsndQt Ro/lrum. I much more think, in this Particular, 
our Animal refembles that of a Hog : But Comparifons 
being fo delufive, (b un-fatisfa&ory to an inquifitive 
Mind; and in all Natural Hi/lory not meeting with 
more , and to fo little purpofe, as in the Defcriprion 
of this Animal; I fhouid rather think it far moread» 
vifeable , to avoid the feducing the Mind into aa 
Error hereby ; than at the fame time, when 'tis pre^ 
tended to inform, to misguide the Imagination by a 
miftaken and ill-choftn Simile. 
I fliall only add, that the Vpper-Jaw was fomewhat 
longer than th^Vnder : The N^i?r/7j were large; Nares 
hahet patenteSy faith Margrave {a) : The Eyes Black, 
(mail, vivid and exerted, when 'alive; now dead, 
very much funck : The Neck was fliort : The Breajl 
was broad ; and the Shape of the whole is beft appre- 
hended by confulting our Figure thereof 
It had Mufiacids like a Cat ; Barham hahet Felinam, 
faith Margrave (^) ; but his Figure of it is very much 
miftaken. The Fur upon .the Face is ftiorter and whiter 
than the reft of the Body : The Mexico Hiftory (c) de- 
fcribes it Rojlro tenui^ prolixo & depili ; but ihis'muft 
be onlv meant ccmparativefy. On the Back and Sides 
the Fur was of an Afh Colour, or dappeFd with Black 
Hair in Spots, intermixt with White, efpeciaily on the 
Back ; on the Belly 'twas more of anUmber Colour,and 
of a darker on the Legs. The longeft Flair s;^\\\&i were
