or JULES PIERRE FRANCOIS STANISLAS DESNOYERS (1800-1887), French geologist and archaeologist, was born at Nogent-leRotrou, in the department of Eure-et-Loir, on the 8th of October 1800.

His contributions to geological science comprise memoirs on the Jurassic, Cretaceous and Tertiary Strata of the Paris Basin and of Northern France, and other papers relating to the antiquity of man, and to the question of his co-existence with extinct mammalia. His separate books were Sur la Craie et sur les terrains tertiaires du Cotentin (1825), Recherches geologiques et historiques sur les cavernes (1845). He died in 1887.
