Michalet (ALPHONSE) 



Though engaged in business as a flower-merchant, both in Leipzig and 

 at his residence near Reyuier-Six-Fours (Var), Mr. Michalet has found 1 

 time to make geological excursions in Algeria and to publish studies on 

 the Bathonian and Cenomanian rocks near Toulon and their Echinoida 

 (Bull. Soc. Oeol. France, 1895, 1901). The former of these papers led 

 to a correspondence with Mr. Michalet and to the purchase of some 

 specimens from him in 1896 ; a larger purchase was made through the 

 dealer, R. Damon, in 1897. These may be summarised as follows: 

 1195 Molluscs, 3289 Brachiopods, and 246 Corals, from the Senonian, 

 Turonian, and Neocomian rocks of Provence, and from the Bathonian, 

 Lias, and Muschelkalk of Var, also 435 Echinoderms and 4 Foraminifers 

 from the Tertiary, Cretaceous, and Jurassic rocks of Algeria. All the 

 specimens were provided with loose white paper labels in Mr. Michalet's- 

 handwriting.
