  The 
  words 
  "C. 
  frontatus 
  nobis" 
  on 
  the 
  stand 
  of 
  the 
  example 
  in 
  

   the 
  Paris 
  Museum 
  is 
  said 
  to 
  be 
  in 
  Kuhl's 
  handwriting 
  and 
  designates 
  

   the 
  type; 
  but 
  nowhere 
  is 
  it 
  said 
  to 
  be 
  "type 
  de 
  respece," 
  which 
  is 
  

   almost 
  always 
  written 
  on 
  the 
  stands 
  when 
  any 
  particular 
  specimen 
  

   is 
  indicated 
  as 
  the 
  type. 
  The 
  example 
  bears 
  no 
  resemblance 
  what- 
  

   ever 
  to 
  C. 
  crassiceps, 
  and 
  which 
  Schlegel 
  includes 
  with 
  this 
  species 
  

   as 
  a 
  synonym 
  of 
  C. 
  variegatus, 
  but 
  is 
  very 
  like 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  C 
  cirrifer 
  

   E. 
  Geoff., 
  but 
  has 
  not 
  the 
  long 
  head 
  tufts 
  of 
  that 
  species. 
  The 
  hair 
  

   on 
  the 
  top 
  of 
  the 
  head 
  is 
  long 
  and 
  stands 
  upright, 
  and 
  is 
  longest 
  on 
  the 
  

   forehead. 
  The 
  tail 
  is 
  not 
  so 
  bushy 
  as 
  is 
  that 
  of 
  C. 
  cirrifer, 
  and 
  is 
  

   black 
  with 
  reddish 
  hairs 
  mixed 
  on 
  the 
  basal 
  part. 
  In 
  size 
  this 
  species 
  

   equals 
  the 
  ordinary 
  Capuchin. 
  

  

  The 
  type 
  of 
  C. 
  lunatus 
  Kuhl, 
  is 
  now 
  in 
  the 
  Leyden 
  Museum 
  

   having 
  been 
  obtained 
  in 
  exchange 
  from 
  the 
  Heidelberg 
  Museum. 
  It 
  

   is 
  a 
  young 
  animal 
  in 
  the 
  brown 
  coat, 
  has 
  a 
  black 
  head, 
  and 
  is 
  evidently 
  

   in 
  process 
  of 
  change 
  to 
  the 
  adult 
  dress, 
  and 
  cannot 
  be 
  separated 
  specif- 
  

   ically 
  from 
  the 
  present 
  species. 
  It 
  must 
  however 
  be 
  confessed 
  that 
  

   the 
  distinctness 
  of 
  C. 
  frontatus 
  is 
  doubtful. 
  Its 
  resemblance 
  to 
  C. 
  

   cirrifer, 
  (differing 
  chiefly 
  in 
  wanting 
  the 
  head 
  tufts, 
  which 
  may 
  be 
  

   a 
  mark 
  of 
  age 
  or 
  of 
  season), 
  and 
  our 
  total 
  lack 
  of 
  knowledge 
  of 
  the
