(1752-1804), was a priest in the Rouergue and professor at
the central school of Rhodes.The publisher Panckoucke
employed Bonnaterre to contribute to the Encyclopedie
Methodique, in the area of mammals, birds, reptiles, fishes
and insects. Bonnaterre composed an extensive text for the
part on fishes and availed himself of the works of most of
the earlier authors and collected drawings of more than 400
species. He copied many of the drawings of Bloch and when
these were not available he took them from the works of
Gronovius, Broussonet, Pennant and others. When these
authors failed him he even returned to the classics like
Willughby, Rondelet and Piso. £75 each **if a number
