medical students, and their professor were, by 1793, completely 
eliminated. Dubernard resigned in 1784, being succeeded by 
Lapérouse (in prison in 1793), and in that year (1784) the 
Jardin Botanique de l Académie became a Jardin des Plantes 
Pyrénéenes de lV Académie. Lapérouse was followed by “ Ci- 
toyen”’ Limes (1793-1794), and Dubernard was made the second 
professor of botany, in succession to Limes, holding the chair for 
five and one-half months. Limes established the herbarium of 
Pyrenees plants, and in 1793 (23 ventose an Il) the Garden be- 
came again the Jardin des Plantes Médicinales. Subsequently, 
while Limes was still director, the Council of the departmental 
directory, in order to secure a larger area and for other reasons, 
abandoned the Garden of the Academy and established another 
in the grounds of the monastery of the barefooted Carmelites, 
called Frescati. This was the Jardin des Plantes National, of 
which, in’ 1795, Dubernard became director for one year (22 
frimaire an III—3 germinal an IV), being succeeded on the latter 
date by Lapérouse.
