It seems from a broken fragment of a mandible of a male from the Punjab in 
the Indian Museum (No. B. 8), with the crowns of the teeth hammered off, that pm73, 
though a small and narrow tooth when compared with that of the mandible figured 
in plate XI., apjDarently had the hinder root divided into two. This seems to 
indicate that the jaw represented in plate VII., fig. 4, is probably that of a female. 
The vertical diameter of the canine in the male jaw is P22 inches. 
Oranium . — In plate IX. there is figured (^) the skull of a gigantic pig obtained by 
Mr. Theobald from the Siwaliks of the village of Niki, in the Punjab, which has been 
previously alluded to by the present writer under the name of S. giganteus} This 
specimen is in such frail condition that its transport to England was deemed 
inadvisable, and the writer has consequently been unable to compare it with the 
crania of 8. giganteus^ and cannot give such full measurements as he would desire. 
The mandible is in situ ] and the chief damage that the specimen has sustained 
consists in the loss of the angle of the mandible, the occipital condyles, a portion of 
the exoccqfitals, and the tip of the nasals. The whole of the teeth are in beautiful 
preservation ; but from the apposition of the upper and lower series they cannot 
be fully examined. 
The mandible and lower molars agree exactly in general characters with the 
specimen represented in plate VII., fig. 4; and the skull may, therefore, be safely 
referred to the same species. The present specimen shows that pm. 1 was present, 
and was separated by a considerable interval from pm. 2, as in existing pigs. The 
mandibular symphysis is relatively short, with a rapidly ascending inferior border. 
The canines are of fairly large size, and indicate that the specimen probably belonged 
to a male. The upper molars have the same length as the lower ; and the length of 
and apparently exceeds that of m. 3 : pm. 1 is present. 
Althougli the naso-f rental suture is not visible, yet it can be easily seen that the 
nasals when complete must have been shorter than the fronto-parietal portion of the 
cranium ; t]ius showing that the species was in this respect allied to 8 . giganteus and 
the 8. cristatus group, and quite different from 8. scrofa and 8. harlatus. The 
protuberance above the upper canine is of about the same proportionate size as in 
8. cristatus. Comparing the figure with that of the cranium of 8. giganteus^ it
