•SSLIANS’ WART-HOG. 
vol. viii. p. 450. He notices in the skull of a 
Wart Hog in the Parisian collection, the exis- 
tence of two incisors in the intermaxillary bone,

reasons for considering both of the same genus, 
notwithstanding the absence of the upper incisors 
in the one, are sufficiently supported by the cir- 
cumstance, that the same occurs in others of the 
Pachydermes, as in the case of the Rhinoceros. 
Cuvier accompanied the above distinction between 
the two Wart Hogs, by a representation of the 
two skulls which guided his judgment, and we 
instantly recognized our new species. 
The discovery of two new species of the genus 
Phascochaeres, i3 thus due to the merit of Fred. 
Cuvier. What we add on that subject, we merely 
wish to give as an additional inquiry supporting 
the labours of that learned naturalist, and with 
an intention of corroborating his views. A consi- 
derable number of that same species which were 
sent to us by Ruppel, enables us to state the 
following facts as well established. First. All the 
individuals of our new species, whether of old or 
young animals, and such as had not yet attained
