This article appears in Volume V04, Page 637 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BRI-BUN
BRONN, HEINRICH GEORG (1800-1862) , German geologist, was born on the 3rd of March s800 at Ziegelhausen near
Heidelberg
 . Studying at the university at
Heidelberg
  he took his
doctor
 's degree in the faculty of
medicine
  in 1821, and in the following year was appointed professor of natural history. He now devoted himself to palaeontological studies, and to field-
work
  in various parts of Germany, Italy and France. From its commencement in 183o to 1862 he, assisted in editing the Jahrbuch fur Mineralogie, &c., continued as Nelms Jahrbuch. His principal
work
 , Lethaea Geognostica (2 vols.,
Stuttgart
 , 18341838; 3rd ed. with F. Romer, 3 vols., 18511856), has been regarded as one of the foundations of German stratigraphical geology. His Handbuch einer Geschichteder Natur, of which the first part was issued in 1841, gave a general account of the physical history of the earth, while the second part dealt with the life-history, species being regarded as direct acts of creation. The third part included his famous Index Palaeontologicus, and was issued in 3 vols., 18481849, with the assistance of H. von Meyer and H. R. Goppert. This
record
  of fossils has proved of inestimable value to all palaeontologists. An important work on
recent
  and fossil
zoology
 , Die Klassen and Ordnungen des Thier-Reichs, was commenced by
Bronn
 . He wrote the volumes dealing with Amorphozoa,
Actinozoa
 , and Malacozoa, published 18591862; the work was continued by other naturalists. In 1861
Bronn
  was awarded the Wollaston medal by the Geological Society of London. He died at Heidelberg on the 5th of July 1862.
