_Porci solidi-pedes_ (Vol. iii., pp. 263. 357.).--I find, on further
inquiry, that my account of the _porci solidi-pedes_ is correct; and I
can now add the following: that under the eye there was a small
protuberance, not, I believe, found in our ordinary English pigs, but
which forms a remarkable characteristic of the African wild boar. In the
African species it is large; in the Chinese, if it be rightly so called,
it is about half the length of a forefinger, and a quarter of an inch in
height. I have no doubt that Mr. Ramsden, of Carlton Hall, Notts, would
furnish additional information concerning these pigs, should it be
required; and the publication of it would perhaps be interesting to
many.
