_Archives du Museum_; _i.e._, the _Proces verbaux des Seances tenues par les Officiers du Jardin des Plantes_, from 1790 to 1830, bound in vellum, in thirty-four volumes.

These were all looked through, though found to contain but little of biographical interest relating to Lamarck, beyond proving that he lived in that ancient edifice from 1793 until his death in 1829.

Dr.Hamy's elaborate history of the last years of the Royal Garden and of the foundation of the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle, in the volume commemorating the centennial of the foundation of the Museum, has been of essential service.
My warmest thanks are due to M.Adrien de Mortillet, formerly secretary of the Society of Anthropology of Paris, for most essential aid.

He kindly gave me a copy of a very rare pamphlet, entitled _Lamarck.
