Zoologie - Conchologie

Naturwissenschaften – Aus der Bibliothek von Jacques Labarère. - Monographie über die Land- und Süßwasserschnecken sowie Muscheln des südwestfranzösischen Départements Gers. Das Werk beschreibt systematisch die im Gebiet vorkommenden Arten, behandelt sowohl lebende als auch fossile Formen und dokumentiert damit die lokale Biodiversität und das fossile Vorkommen dieser Gruppen in außergewöhnlicher Dichte. Dupuy liefert morphologische Diagnosen, Angaben zu Verbreitung und Lebensräumen und verknüpft die lebende Malakofauna mit den entsprechenden Schalen aus den Ablagerungen der Region, was dem Buch auch geologisch-paläontologische Bedeutung verleiht. Der Essai bildet zugleich die Grundlage für Dupuy's späteres größeres Werk zur französischen Malakologie und gilt als eines der frühen, sorgfältig gearbeiteten faunistischen Standardwerke zur Land- und Süßwassermolluskenfauna Frankreichs. - Abbé Dominique Dupuy (1812-1885) war ein französischer Geistlicher, Botaniker und Malakologe aus Lectoure im Département Gers. Er wirkte als Professor für Naturgeschichte am kleinen Seminar in Auch und lehrte zuvor Mathematik und Naturgeschichte in Gimont. Dupuy war Mitglied mehrerer gelehrter Gesellschaften, darunter der Société Botanique de France und der Société d'Histoire Naturelle de Toulouse - Wohlerhalten. Gutes Exemplar.

Natural Sciences – Zoology. - Conchology. - From the library of Jacques Labarère. - A monograph on the terrestrial and freshwater snails and bivalves of the Gers department in southwestern France. The work systematically describes the species found in the region, covering both living and fossil forms, and thus documents the local biodiversity and fossil record of these groups in exceptional detail. Dupuy provides morphological descriptions, information on distribution and habitats, and links the living malacofauna with the corresponding shells from the region's deposits, which also lends the book geological and paleontological significance. The essay also forms the basis for Dupuy's later, more extensive work on French malacology and is considered one of the early, meticulously crafted standard works on the terrestrial and freshwater mollusk fauna of France. - Abbé Dominique Dupuy (1812-1885) was a French clergyman, botanist, and malacologist from Lectoure in the Gers department. He served as a professor of natural history at the minor seminary in Auch and had previously taught mathematics and natural history in Gimont. Dupuy was a member of several learned societies, including the Société Botanique de France and the Société d'Histoire Naturelle de Toulouse -
