A TAILLESS LEMUR. 



The Indns, here represented, is the largest of the Lemur family. Its tail is reduced to a short stump, and its thick fur is 

 mapped out into black and creamy-white areas. A native of the Madagascar forests, it is able to take flying leaps from branch to 

 branch as much as thirty feet apart.
