The bones of Lamarck are probably at this moment mixed with those of all the other unknown which lie there.

What had at first led us into an error is that we made the inquiries under the name of Lamarck instead of that of de Monnet.

In reality, the register of inscription bears the following mention: "'De Monnet de Lamarck buried this 20 December 1829 (85 years), 3d square, 1st division, 2d line, trench 22.' "At some period later, a friendly hand, without doubt, had written on the margin of the register the following information: "'To the left of M.Dassas.' "M.

Lacave kindly went with us to search for the place where Lamarck had been interred, and on the register we saw this: "'Dassas, 1st division, 4th line south, No.

6 to the west, concession 1165-1829.' On arriving at the spot designated, we found some new graves, but nothing to indicate that of M.Dassas, our only mark by which we could trace the site after the changes wrought since 1829.
