KAUP, JOHANN JAKOB (1803-1873) ,
German
  naturalist, was born at
Darmstadt
  on the loth of
April
  1803. After studying at Gottingen and
Heidelberg
  he spent two years at Leiden, where his attention was specially devoted to the amphibians and fishes. He then returned to
Darmstadt
  as an assistant in the grand ducal museum of which in 184o he became inspector. In 1829 he published Skizze zur Entwickelungsgeschichte der europdischen Thierwelt, in which he regarded the animal world as developed from
lower
  to higher forms, from the amphibians through the birds to the beasts of
prey
 ; but subsequently he repudiated this
work
  as a youthful indiscretion, and on the publication of
Darwin
 's Origin of Species he declared himself against its doctrines. The extensive fossil deposits in the neighbourhood of Darmstadt gave him ample opportunities for palaeontological inquiries, and he gained considerable reputation by his Beitrdge zur ndheren Kenntniss der urweltlichen Sdugethiere (18551862). He also wrote
Classification
  der Sdugethiere und
Vogel
  (1844), and, with H. G. Brown (18001862) of
Heidelberg
 , Die Gavial-artigen Reste aus dem Lias (18421844). He died at Darmstadt on the 4th of July 1873.
