Abstract
IT has recently become known in Britain that Prof. E.-L. Bouvier, for many years head of the department of articulate animals at the Musée National d'Histoire Naturelle de France, and later professor of entomology there, died near Paris on January 14, 1944. He was born on April 9, 1856, joined the Paris Museum in 1883, and remained there for the remainder of his active life, except during the years 1889–95, when he was professor at the School of Pharmacy in Paris. In 1902 he was elected to the Academy of Sciences, and became president in 1925. He received numerous other distinctions both at home and abroad, and was a foreign member of the Linnean Society and the Zoological Society of London.
