VERNEUIL, PHILLIPPE EDOUARD POULLETIER DE (180 1873) , French palaeontologist, was born in Paris on the 13th of
February
  18o5. He was educated for the law, but being of independent means he was free to follow his own inclinations, and having attended lectures on geology by Elie de Beaumont he was so attracted to the subject that he devoted himself assiduously to the study of science. He spent several years in travel through various parts of Europe, specially examining the geology of the Crimea, on which he published an essay (Hem. Soc. Geol. France, 1837). He next investigated the Devonian rocks and fossils of the Bas-Boulonnais; and in 1839 accompanied Sedgwick and Murchison in a study of the older Palaeozoic rocks of the Rhenish provinces and Belgium, the palaeontological results being communicated to the
Geological
  Society of London in conjunction with D'Archiac. When Murchison commenced his
geological
  examination of the
Russian
 
empire
 , he requested de Verneuil to accompany him, and the researches of the latter were incorporated in the second volume of The Geology of
Russia
  in Europe and the Ural Mountains (1845). Subsequently de Verneuil paid a visit to the United States to study the history of the palaeozoic rocks in that country, and the results were published in 1847 (
Bull
 . Soc. Geol. France). In later years he made numerous expeditions into Spain, and his observations were embodied in Carte geologique de l'Espagne et du Portugal (1864), prepared in association with E. Collomb. In 1853 the Wollaston
medal
  of the Geological Society of London was awarded to him, and in s86o he was elected a foreign member of the Royal Society. He died in Paris on the 29th of May 1873.
