MARCOU, JULES (1824-1898) , an eminent Swiss-American geologist, was born at
Salins
 , in the department of Jura, in France, on the loth of April 1824. He was educated at
Besancon
  and at the college of St Louis, Paris. He worked in early years with J. Thurmann (18041855) on the geology of the Jura mountains. In 1847 he went to North America as travelling geologist for the Jardin des Plantes, and in the following year in Boston he joined Agassiz, whom he had met in Switzerland; and accompanied him to the Lake Superior region.
Marcou
  spent two years in studying the geology of various parts of the United States and Canada, and returned to Europe for a short time in 185o. In 1853 he published a
Geological
  Map of the United States, and the British Provinces of North America. In 1855 he became professor of geology and palaeontology at the
polytechnic
  school of Zurich, but relinquished this office in 1859, and in 1861 again returned to the United States, when he assisted Agassiz in
founding
  the Museum of Comparative
Zoology
 . In 1861 he published his
Geological
  Map of the World (2nd ed. 1875). Of his published papers the more noteworthy are those on the Jura-Cretaceous formations of the Jura, on the " Dyas " (Permian) of Nebraska, and on the Taconic rocks of
Vermont
  and Canada. His other works include Lettres sur les roches du Jura et leur distribution geographique clans les deux hemispheres (18571860) and Geology of North America (1858).
