Alfred Duvaucel (1793,

explorer. He was the stepson of Georges Cuvier
.

Journeys in South and Southeast Asia

In December 1817, Duvaucel left France for

tapir from Sumatra that they had studied in Hastings menagerie. Later consignments included a live Cashmere goat, crested pheasants and various birds.[1][2]

In December 1818,

Royal Zoological Society. These were published in 1820 by Everard Home and planned for publication in the Histoire naturelle des mammifères by Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire and Frédéric Cuvier. After their arrival at Bencoulen in August 1819, Raffles requisitioned most of their collection and left them copies of their drawings, descriptions and notes. Duvaucel and Diard took leave, sent their share to Calcutta and parted.[1]

Duvaucel set off to

Padang, and collected specimens of the Malayan tapir, Sumatran rhinoceros, several monkeys, reptiles, deer and axis in this area. He returned to Calcutta with several cases of stuffed animals, skeletons, skins and some live monkeys.[1]

He returned to Chandernagore, from where he made several excursions. In July 1821, he embarked on the

Benares in Bengal, and Kathmandu in "Nepaul". There is no record however that he ever traveled to Nepal.[5]

Duvaucel died in August 1824 in

Madras. But it was only in April 1825 that an obituary was published.[6] Ten years later, rumours were afloat in France that he was mauled by a tiger within minutes.[7]

Legacy

The Paris Museum of Natural History received nearly 2000 animals collected jointly by Duvaucel and Diard during their stay of more than a year in the

Malayan Weasel and the genus of Semnopithecus
in 1822.

Of the species jointly collected by Duvaucel and Diard in Sumatra, Raffles first described the

Large Treeshrew and the Cream-coloured giant squirrel
in 1821.

The many drawings, skeletons, skins and other animal parts that Duvaucel sent to the Paris Museum of Natural History included head, skin and paws of a species from the mountains north of India that his stepfather’s brother

Ailurus fulgens in 1825.[9][10]

Cervus duvaucelii
Harpactes duvaucelii
Drawing of Uroteuthis duvauceli
Hoplodactylus duvaucelii

Alfred Duvaucel is commemorated in the scientific names of a number of animals:
