Desmarest (1784-1838), a disciple of Cuvier and Brongniart, held a zoology professorship at the École national vétérinaire d'Alfort. One of a line of scientists, his father was a geologist and his son an entomologist. His publications included works on fossils, crustaceans, and a Dictionnaire des Sciences Naturelles. Mammalogie is his gloss on a collection of zoological plates published over thirty years earlier, in 1790-91. Contains both the "Premiere partie, contenant les ordres des bimanes, des quadrumanes et des carnassiers" (1820) and the "Second Partie, contenant les ordres des rongeurs, des édentés, des pachydermes, des ruminans et de cétacés" (1822).
