After having carefully compared those species 
of animals which were sent to us by our traveller 
from the north of Africa, we were led to consider 
that they are always of smaller size than those 
found in the Cape, although in other respects, 
and characteristic features, quite the same, and 
to be considered as identical. Keeping well 
in mind this consideration, it was only after a 
very careful examination that we were induced 
to regard the Wart-Hog, which is to form the 
object of the following description, as different 
from the species which is found on the Cape ; 
and we shall just give our reasons for it. 
We mention, first of all, the acute judgment 
of Fred. Cuvier, on the dental formation of the 
Wart Hog, in the Memoir du Mus. d’Hist. Natur.
