[37] A few years ago, when we formed the plan of writing his life, we wrote to friends in Paris for information as to the exact house in which Lamarck lived, and received the answer that it was unknown; another proof of the neglect and forgetfulness that had followed Lamarck so many years after his death, and which was even manifested before he died.
Afterwards Professor Giard kindly wrote that by reference to the _proces verbaux_ of the Assembly, it had been found by Professor Hamy that he had lived in the house of Buffon.
The house is situated at the corner of Rue de Buffon and Rue Geoffroy St.Hilaire.The courtyard facing Rue Geoffroy St.Hilaire bears the number 2 Rue de Buffon, and is in the angle between the Galerie de Zoologie and the Bibliotheque.

The edifice is a large four-storied one.

His bedroom, where he died, was on the _premier etage_.
