Agathe François Gouÿe de Longuemare

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Agathe François Gouÿe de Longuemare (born February 6, 1792 in Versailles , Yvelines department , † February 12, 1866 in the 6th arrondissement in Paris ) was a French ornithologist and administrative clerk in the department of overseas hospitals and prisons in the Ministry of Navy and Colonies .

Live and act

His father's name was Denis Charles François Gouÿe de Longuemare, his mother Felicité Victoire Sayollé.

On May 2, 1811 he was hired as a student in the administration of the French Navy. From July 7, 1812 to April 12, 1813, he served on board the gunboat Cannoniere No 192 of the Napoleonic Army . First recorded out of service, he returned to military service on March 18, 1816. From March 1, 1817 to November 1818, Le Rhône signed on. On January 12, 1819, he was released from service to be employed in the naval administration on February 8, 1819. Until July 1848 he continued his administrative career there in Rochefort and Paris on the mainland. Here Gouÿe de Longuemare worked as an administrative clerk in the department of overseas hospitals and prisons ( sous-chef de bureau des chiourmes et hôpitaux ) in the Ministry of Navy and Colonies ( Ministère de la Marine et des Colonies ).

Gouÿe de Longuemare married Victoire Françoise Rosalie Joséphine born on April 20, 1822. Marsy, (born March 22, 1796 in Gisors and died October 29, 1873 in Paris). After his death, she received a pension of 1500 francs . At least they had their son Henri Victor Goüye de Longuemare (1823-1890), who pursued a career similar to that of his father, in common.

It was probably in Rochefort that Gouÿe de Longuemare met René Primevère Lesson . Gouÿe de Longuemare had acquired a beautiful collection of hummingbirds , of which Lesson described some exhibits for science. Gouye de Longuemare himself had of Charles Parzudaki receive a bellows, for he as longuemare's sunangel ( Heliangelus clarisse ) new to science in the journal Revue Zoologique La Société par Cuvierienne erstbeschrieb . A year later a more detailed description of him appeared in Magasin de zoologie with a plate of the hummingbird, which his wife had illustrated and which was engraved by Christophe Annedouche .

Membership and Honors

In 1840 Gouye de Longuemare was presented by Sauveur Abel Aubert Petit de la Saussaye (1792-1870) as member number 184 of the Société cuviérienne . On April 25, 1844, he was awarded the Legion of Honor for his services .
