are met with in Europe, northern
Africa and southern Asia, and it's
islands, altogether fail in the new
world, where their places are taken by
animals of inferior size and slightly

cares" Of peccaries, only two species
are known to exist, namely, the collarcd
peccary' and the white-lippcd peccary,
OF the latter of which we now give an
Illustration from some specimens lately
added to the Geological society's collec-
ton. The peccaries have n wide range
in America, extending from Mexico
throughout the central and southern
portions of the continent down to Para
quay and the northern provinces of
the Argentine Republic. The larger
mammals being scarce in these parts
Of America, peccaries are much sought
after by the native hunters as articles
of food, and much priced when they are
obtained. The peccary, however, is
provided with a strongly odoriferous
gland, situated in the hinder part of it's
back, and unless this gland be removed
as soon as the animal is killed, it's flesh

Jared peccary is the commoner of tho
two species, and the one most frequent

the Geological society's gardens it has
bred on more than one occasion, but
produces only two young ones at time,
