DUVEYRIER, HENRI (184o-1892) ,
French
  explorer of the Sahara, was born in Paris on the 28th of
February
  184o. His youth was spent partly in London, where he met Heinrich Barth, then preparing the narrative of his travels in the western Sudan. At the age of nineteen Duveyrier, who had already learnt Arabic, began a journey in the northern parts of the Sahara which lasted nearly three years. On returning to France he received, in 1863, the gold
medal
  of the Paris Geographical Society, and in 1864 published Exploration du Sahara: les Touareg du nord. In the war of 187o he was taken prisoner by the Germans. Subsequently he made several other journeys in the Sahara, adding considerably to the knowledge of the regions immediately
south
  of the
Atlas
 , from the eastern confines of Morocco to Tunisia. He also examined the Algerian and Tunisian chats and explored the interior of western
Tripoli
 . Duveyrier devoted
special
  attention to the customs and speech of the
Tuareg
 , with whom he lived for months at a time, and to the organization of the
Senussi
 . In 1881 he published La Tunisie, and in 1884 La Confrerie musselmane de Sidi Mohammed Ben Ali-Es-Senossi et son domaine geographique. He died at Sevres on the 25th of
April
  1892.
