---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- Exemplaire de travail ---- "After medical studies in Paris, Milne-Edwards acquired a solid background in zoology and in 1832 accepted a post as professor of hygiene and natural history at the Ecole Centrale des Arts et Manufactures. In addition to his teaching he undertook a vast program of research on the invertebrates. His success in this field earned him the Academy of Sciences'prize in experimental physiology in 1828 and his election to the zoology section of the Academy in 1838. Three years later he was appointed to the chair of entomology of the museum of Natural History. Twenty years later the chair of mammology became vacant and Milne-Edwards was transferred to it. In the meantime he had been named professor and then, dean of the Faculty of Sciences... Milne-Edwards was for years the leader of the French naturalists and his work remained famous long after his death...". (DSB IX p. 408)**3692/A6AR
