The Forest-pig of Central Africa

Nature volume 70, page 626 (1904)Cite this article

Abstract

THERE are two good mounted specimens of the forest-pig in the Museum of the Congo Free State at Tervueren, near Brussels, where I had the pleasure of examining them in July last. M. A. Dubois, conservator of the Royal Museum of Natural History at Brussels, told me that he intended to describe the animal in conjunction with Dr. Matschie, of Berlin, but I am not aware that their description has yet been published, so that I hope the forest-pig may remain known by the excellent name Hylochœrus, proposed for it by Mr. Thomas.
