Year: 1957
Type: article
Abstract: It has been the practice to credit dual authorship to the new names \nproposed by Cuvier and Valenciennes in their monumental contribution - \nto ichthyology, 'Histoire Naturelle Des Poissons', comprising of 22 \nvolumes published from 1828-1849. Baron Cuvier passed away in 1832 \nwhile volume 9 was in press but Valenciennes who continued the work \nthereafter retained the name of his former senior colleague in the subsequent \nnumbers of the series presumably as a mark of courtesy
