Henri Milne-Edwards, French Zoologist

Editorial use only . Henri Milne-Edwards (1800-1885) was a French zoologist. At first he turned his attention to medicine, in which he graduated as an MD at Paris in 1823. His passion for natural history soon prevailed, and he gave himself up to the study of the lower forms of animal life. He became a student of Georges Cuvier and befriended Jean Victor Audouin. He became professor of hygiene and natural history in 1832 at the College Central des Arts et Manufactures. In 1841, after the death of Audouin, he succeeded him at the chair of entomology at the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle. In 1862 he succeeded Isidore Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire in the long-vacant chair of zoology. Of his books may be mentioned the Histoire naturelle des Crustaces (3 vols., 1837-41), which long remained a standard work, Histoire naturelle des coralliaires, published in 1858-60, Leons sur la physiologie et l'anatomie comparee de l'homme et des animaux (1857-81), in 14 volumes. 1860.
