Java. Its range includes the Philippines. Batjan and other 
islands outside the Malaysian subregion. One subspecies how- 
ever has been described from Borneo, based on a single skull 
collected by Wallace and purchased by the British Museum in 
1859. The occurrence in Borneo of a Celebes form of wild 
pig is rather unlikely and the more to be questioned since no> 
other specimen has ever been recorded. A confusion of locality 
labels is a possible explanation : “ Bourn/* for instance, ha.' 
often been read for “Borneo” and n><* versa on collectors* 
labels. 
It differs from the Bearded Pig of Borneo in the smaller 
size, less elongated head and smaller tail-tuft,

Sits herbal us , . 
This species besides the peculiarity of the cheek fringes 
or ” beard ” is noticeable for its larger size, long, low, narrow 
head, bearing a pair of prominent bristled warts; large tail* 
tuft, and comparatively small oval ears. It stands about 3 ft. 
at the shoulder: yellowish to blackish in colour. 
This species ranges from Borneo, Sumatra and the Rluo 
Archipelago to the Philippines. Its discovery in Pahang 
(Malay Peninsula) lias been recently confirmed. 1 
8. THE GIANT BORNEAN PIG, 
Sus garganiva. 
One very large skull measuring 2 inches louger, and 
noticeably lower, than the largest specimen of the ordinary 
Bornean Bearded Pig has been described from South-East 
Borneo. 
It is perhaps equally reasonable to regard it as an abnor- 
mal example of barbalus as it is to treat it as a separate 
species. 
The Malays in the interior of Eastern Sumatra and in 
some of the adjacent islands report the existence of a very 
large pig, which they regard as quite distinct from the or- 
dinary Bearded Pig- It is nomadic, consorts in droves and 
is much larger. They call it the babi brantu No specimen 
has yet been obtained. 2
