Suites à Buffon

Les Suites à Buffon is a French nineteenth century scientific publication

Les"Suites à Buffon" carries the complete title "Suites à Buffon formant avec les œuvres de cet auteur un cours complet d'histoire naturelle embrassant les trois règnes de la nature, confié aux plus célèbres naturalistes et habiles écrivains"(following the author, Buffon,a complete course of natural history embracing the three reigns of nature, entrusted to the most famous naturalists and to skilful writers). The three reigns or kingdoms are Botany, Zoology and Geology.This work constitutes a vast realization in 89 volumes of the edited and publshed by the Parisian editor Nicolas Roret which appeared between 1834 and 1890. It appears in many forms and is often extracted, sometimes under the title republications are made under the title "Nouvelles Suites à Buffon"."Suites à Buffon" and "Nouvelles Suites à Buffon" were published in most major European languages.

An example of a "Suites à Buffon" title is Louis Augustin Guillaume Bosc "Histoire Naturelle des Coquilles,contenant leur description, les moeurs des animaux qui les habitent et leurs usages" in 5 vols. 2nd ed. Paris, Verdière, 1824.Several new species of shells are described in this rather rare work which included a long "table alphabétique de toutes les espèces mentionnées dans ces ouvrages avec les synonymes de Lamarck".It is not clear from the title that this is part of "Suites à Buffon",which it is, but not published by Roret and of a specialised nature.

Sometimes "Suites de Buffon"
