René Lesson

René Primevère Lesson (20 March 1794 – 28 April 1849) was a French surgeon, naturalist, ornithologist, and herpetologist.
== Biography ==
He was born at Rochefort, and entered the Naval Medical School in Rochefort at the age of sixteen. He served in the French Navy during the Napoleonic Wars; in 1811 he was third surgeon on the frigate ''Saale'', and in 1813 was second surgeon on the ''Regulus''.〔(Persée ) Un pharmacien de la marine et voyageur naturaliste : R.-P Lesson〕
In 1816 Lesson changed his classification to pharmacist. He served on Duperrey's round-the-world voyage of ''La Coquille'' (1822–25), of which he collected natural history specimens with his fellow surgeon Prosper Garnot and officer Dumont d'Urville.〔 During his visits to the Moluccas and New Guinea, Lesson became the first naturalist to see birds of paradise in the wild.〔(New Guinea: crossing boundaries and history ) by Clive Moore〕
On returning to Paris, he spent seven years preparing the section on vertebrates for the official account of the expedition: "''Voyage autour du monde entrepris par ordre du Gouvernement sur la corvette La Coquille''" (published from 1826 to 1839).〔Statement based on a translation of an equivalent article at the French Wikipedia.〕 During this time period, he also produced "''Manuel d'Ornithologie''" (1828), "''Traité d'Ornithologie''" (1831), "''Centurie Zoologique''" (1830–32) and "''Illustrations de Zoologie''" (1832–35).〔(Google Search ) (publications)〕〔(WorldCat Search ) (publications)〕 Lesson also published several monographs on hummingbirds and one book on birds of paradise:
* (''Histoire naturelle des oiseaux-mouches. ouvrage orné de planches''... ) (1829-1831).
* (''Histoire naturelle des Colibris suivie d'un supplement a l'histoire naturelle des oiseaux-mouches'' ) (1831-32).
* (''Les trochilidées ou les colibris et les oiseaux-mouches'' ) (1832).
* (''Histoire naturelle des oiseaux de paradis et des épimaques; ouvrage orné de planches, dessinées et gravées par les meilleurs artistes'' ) (1835).
In the field of herpetology he described many new species of amphibians〔Amphibian Species of the World. http://research.amnh.org/vz/herpetology/amphibia/.〕 and reptiles.〔The Reptile Database. http://www.reptile-database.org.〕
From 1831, he served as a professor of pharmacy, and following a series of promotions, became the top-ranking naval pharmacist at Rochefort (1835).〔(Encyclopedia.com ) Lesson, René-Primevère〕 His experience as a ship's surgeon resulted in his two-volume "''Manuel d'histoire naturelle medicale, et de pharmacographie''" (1833), intended as a handbook for naval surgeons.
He became a corresponding member of the ''Académie de Médecine'' in 1828, later becoming a correspondent of the ''Académie des Sciences'' (1833).〔(Lesson, René Primevère (1794-1849) ) Correspondance familiale〕 He received the ''Légion d'honneur'' in 1847.
René Primevère Lesson is sometimes confused with his brother, Pierre Adolphe Lesson (1805-1888), who participated on the ''Astrolabe'' expedition (as the ''Coquille'' had been renamed) in 1826-29, under the command of Jules Dumont d'Urville.〔
