THE WHITE-FRONTED LEMUR. 
Lemur albifrons. Geoff. 
This remarkable species was first indicated by M. Geof- 
froy-Saint-Hilaire in his excellent Memoir on the family 
Lemuridse published in the Magasin Encyclopedique, 
and was soon after figured by Audebert, in his Histoire 
Naturelle des Singes et des Makis. The characters by 
which it is distinguished from the other species are 
principally those of colour. On its back and sides it is 
of a grizzled brown with somewhat of a rufous tinge, 
which is lost on the back of the head, where it becomes 
nearly black. The muzzle, which is prominent and 
lengthened, is entirely of a purplish black, as are also 
the hands. The most distinguishing feature of the 
species consists in a broad white band of woolly hairs 
spreading across the forehead, and including the ears 
and the sides of the face. The neck and inside of the 
fore limbs is white ; the outside of all the limbs reddish 
brown ; and the tail of the same colour with the back
