Alphonse Milne-Edwards (Paris, 13 October 1835 – Paris, 21 April 1900) was a French mammalologist, ornithologist and carcinologist. He was English in origin, the son of Henri Milne-Edwards and grandson of Bryan Edwards, a Jamaican planter who settled at Bruges (then in France).〔 Milne-Edwards obtained a medical degree in 1859 and became assistant to his father at the ''フランス語:Jardin des Plantes'' in 1876. He became the director the フランス語:Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in 1891, devoting himself especially to fossil birds and deep-sea exploration. In 1881, he undertook a survey of the Gulf of Gascony with Léopold de Folin and worked aboard the ''Travailleur'' and the ''Talisman'' on trips to the Canary Islands, the Cape Verde Islands and the Azores. For this he received a gold medal of the Royal Geographical Society.〔 His major ornithological works include ''フランス語:Recherches Anatomiques et Paleontologiques pour servir a l'Histoire des Oiseaux Fossiles de la France'' published in two parts in 1867 and 1872, ''フランス語:Recherches sur la Faune ornithologique etiente des iles Mascareignes et de Madagascar'' 1866–1874 and ''フランス語:Recherches pour servir à l'histoire naturelle des mammifères'' 1868–1874. His study of fossils led to the discovery of tropical birds such as trogons and parrots from prehistoric France.〔 He worked with Alfred Grandidier on ''フランス語:L'Histoire politique, physique et naturelle de Madagascar''. Milne-Edwards also described at least one plant taxon; a species of gutta-percha collected from the island of Grande Comore, Comoros by ornithologist Léon Humblot, which Milne-Edwards named ''Isonandra gutta''.〔''Bulletin du Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle'' 5: 187–189. 1899. 〕 (''I. gutta'' is now considered to be a taxonomic synonym of ''Palaquium gutta'' (Hook.) Burck, and a homonym of its basionym ''Isonandra gutta'' Hook..) ==References==
