At the interment, which took place December 30, M.Latreille, in the name of the Academy of Sciences, and M.Geoffroy St.Hilaire, in the name and on behalf of his colleagues, the Professors of the Museum of Natural History, pronounced eulogies at the grave.

The eulogy prepared by Cuvier, and published after his death, was read at a session of the Academy of Sciences, by Baron Silvestre, November 26, 1832.
With the exception of these formalities, the great French naturalist, "the Linne of France," was buried as one forgotten and unknown.

We read with astonishment, in the account by Dr.A.Mondiere, who made zealous inquiries for the exact site of the grave of Lamarck, that it is and forever will be unknown.

It is a sad and discreditable, and to us inexplicable, fact that his remains did not receive decent burial.

They were not even deposited in a separate grave, but were thrown into a trench apparently situated apart from the other graves, and from which the bones of those thrown there were removed every five years.
