There were no ceremonies at his grave, and even his friends followed him no farther than the city gates, owing to a violent storm .-- (_The Century Cyclopedia of Names._) [47] Still hoping that the site of the grave might have been kept open, and desiring to satisfy myself as to whether there was possibly space enough left on which to erect a modest monument to the memory of Lamarck, I took with me the _brochure_ containing the letter and plan of Dr.Mondiere to the cemetery of Montparnasse.

With the aid of one of the officials I found what he told me was the site, but the entire place was densely covered with the tombs and grave-stones of later interments, rendering the erection of a stone, however small and simple, quite out of the question.
[48] The Rue Lamarck begins at the elevated square on which is situated the Church of the Sacre-Coeur, now in process of erection, and from this point one obtains a commanding and very fine view overlooking the city; from there the street curves round to the westward, ending in the Avenue de Saint-Ouen, and continues as a wide and long thoroughfare, ending to the north of the cemetery of Montmartre.

A neighboring street, Rue Becquerel, is named after another French savant, and parallel to it is a short street named Rue Darwin.
[49] Latreille was born at Brives, November 29, 1762, and died February 6, 1833.

He was the leading entomologist of his time, and to him Cuvier was indebted for the arrangement of the insects in the _Regne Animal_.

His bust is to be seen on the same side of the Nouvelle Galerie in the Jardin des Plantes as those of Lamarck, Cuvier, De Blainville, and D'Orbigny.
