This is a very extraordinary animal; it is of the bignefs of our largeft hogs, but is 
lefs corpulent, in proportion to it’s height: the head is oblong, and narrow toward the 
fnout, at the extremity of which it is truncated and plain; the neck is thick, and 
moderately long; the body is rounded and flelhy, but not fo immoderately as in our 
hog: the legs are moderately long, and very robuft ; the hoofs are cloven, and the 
tail is Abort and hairy all the way, as in the common hog. 
The eyes are fmall, and do not {land at all prominent; the ears are long, eredl, and 
acute : the mouth is large, and well furnifhed with teeth, but there is fomething fo lin¬ 
gular in the fituation and growth of one of the pairs, that it is fcarce neceflary to men¬ 
tion any other diftindtion or character of the animal: there are a pair of exerted teeth 
in the lower jaw, not unlike thofe of many other animals; but there are alfo two in 
the upper jaw, which perforate the flefh of the head, and hand forward in the manner 
of horns : they have been called horns by many, but their infertion by Gomphofis in 
the jaw {hews them to be in reality teeth.

This is a large and tolerably beautiful animal; it is higher in the back than the horfej, 
and, when the head is held eredl, it is much more fo, as the neck is longer ; but the 
neck is flenderer, as well as longer, than in the horfe, and what it has in height it 
wants in dignity; the body alfo is proportionably fmaller : the head of the dromedary 
is fmall, and the upper lip is divided in the manner of that of the hare: the ears are 
fhort; the eyes are large, and the opening of the mouth but fmall: the neck is {len¬ 
der and rounded ; the body is alfo rounded, and on the back there is a fingle and large 
callous protuberance: the legs are long and tolerably robuft, but lefs fo than in the 
horfe-kind : the feet are large and broad, and each has two obtufe nails at the front: 
the foal of the foot is very broad ; it is flat and fleftiy, and is covered only with a foft 
{kin. 
There are fix callofities on and about the knees, which nature has provided to be of 
ufe to it, in that frequent bending and refting on thefe parts, which is neceflary for
