  Henri Marie Ducrotay de Blainville - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henri Marie Ducrotay de Blainville (September 12, 1777 - May 1, 1850) was a French zoologist and anatomist.
In 1812 he was aided by Cuvier to obtain the chair of anatomy and zoology in the Faculty of Sciences at Paris, but subsequently an estrangement grew up between the two men and ended in open enmity.
In 1825 Blainville was admitted a member of the French Academy of Sciences; and in 1830 he was appointed to succeed Jean-Baptiste Lamarck in the chair of natural history at the museum.

 PALAEONTOLOGY - LoveToKnow Article on PALAEONTOLOGY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
On the whole, as in the case of vertebrate palaeontology, the pre-Darwinian period of invertebrate palaeontology was one of rather dry systematic description, in which, however, the applications of the science gradually extended to many regions of the world and to all divisions of the kingdom of invertebrates.
Principles of descent and other applications of uniformitarianism which had been struggling for expression in the writings of Lamarck, St Hilaire and de Blainville here found their true interpretation, because the geological succession, the rise, the migrations, the extinctions, were all connected with the grand central idea of evolution from primordial forms.
Fine examples of the spirit of the period as applied to extinct Mammalia are Gaudrys Animaux fossiles et g~ologie de lAttique (1862) on the Upper Miocene fauna of Pikermi near Athens, and the remarkable memoirs of Vladimir Onufrievich Kowalevsky (1842-1883), published in 1873.

 Erica Carlr -- Blainville's Funeral--A World-Changing Event
According to Comte, Blainville’s scientific contributions ought not be fully honored by posterity because his religious and philosophical beliefs were politically incorrect.
The Scale of Life, Blainville’s principal field, is threatened now with utter subversion at the hands of investigators who are incapable of understanding its value.
Blainville’s organic although retrograde instinct had given him a confused sense of the necessity of connecting Biology with the general beliefs of man: the mistake was in the system which he chose.

The families included in this recently established superorder of mollusks (G. Haszprunar, 1985) have made a long evolutionary journey through the class of the gastropods.
Earlier authors (as J.E. Gray, 1840) put the Heterobranchia as a borderline case between de Opisthobranchia and Pulmonata on the one hand, and the other gastropods on the other hand.

 History of Biology: Cuvier, Schwann and Schleiden
He resolutely maintains that the cell's quality is at the basis of all structures in the vegetable kingdom, clearly predating the cell theory which was about to be born.
Interestingly, and despite negative conclusions drawn very early on, because the technique is both innocuous and lucrative, it has spread over the world despite its contradiction with the concepts of physics and chemistry (existence of atoms).
One of his more infamous theories was that the segmented external skeleton and jointed legsof arthropods such as insects were equivalent to the internal vertebrae and ribs of vertebrates; insects literally live inside their ownvertebrae and walk on their ribs.This prefigures the identification of homeogenes, much later on.
