‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- TIRE-A-PART (OFFPRINT du Journal de physiologie de l'homme et des animaux ---- "In 1860, C. ROUGET (1824/1804), was appointed to the chair of physiology at the University of Montpellier where it is said he was an efficient and inspiring teacher. He was professor of physiology in the Muséum d'histoire Naturelle. His colleagues specially remembered him as a brilliant histologist. In summarizing Rouget's achievement one is faced with the same difficulty that beset the Academy when they were preparing his citation for the La Caze Prize of 1887. On account of the extent and variety of his published writings it was almost impossible to decide what work was most representative of his contribution to science. There are few instances in which his research is not characterized by some degree of originality... Rouget was especially interested in three topics : the eye, contractile tissue and nerve endings...". (DSB XI pp. 565/567)**4573/H6‎
