Abstract
HENRY MILNE-EDWARDS was born at Bruges in October, 1800. Having completed his elementary studies in Belgium he attended medical lectures in Paris, where he took his diploma in medicine in 1823. While he retained an interest in medical and surgical pursuits until late in life, and was a member of the Academy of Medicine, Paris, of the Medical Societies of London, Edinburgh, &c., his earliest passion seems to have been for the study of natural history, and he soon abandoned the practice of his profession and devoted himself to scientific researches among the lower forms of animal life.
