Removing to See also:Toulouse, he practised medicine for a See also:short See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

See also:commander of the See also:Legion of See also:Honour (1881)

He died in
Paris on the 12th of See also:January 1892

He was an accurate
observer and unwearied See also:collector of zoological materials, gifted with remarkable descrinlrive See also:power, and possessed of a clear, vigorous See also:style, but c Knewhat deficient in deep philosophic insight
