1 vol. in-8 (21 x 13 cm), 576 pp., demi-percaline du temps, rousseurs éparses sur certaines pages, cachet de bibliothèque (Istituto Veneto) au titre et en dernière page, petite étiquette de classement sur le contre-plat, livre n?ayant pas circulé, assez bon état. On retient avant tout dans ce volume cet article novateur et pionnier dans l'histoire de l?entomologie médico-légale. Il occupe les pages 153-158 de ce volume. Paul Camille Hippolyte Brouardel (1837-1906) fut professeur de médecine légale et doyen de la Faculté de médecine de Paris. Il fut l?un des médecins légistes les plus réputés d?Europe et écrivit de nombreuses monographies, souvent remarquables. Il fut membre de l?Académie de Médecine et de l?Académie des Sciences. Cet article constitue la 2ème application scientifique de l'entomologie à la médecine légale. Mais à la différence de son prédecesseur (Bergeret), Brouardel s'entoura de collaborateurs: Perier (professeur au Muséum d'histoire naturelle) et J.P.Mégnin (qui sera considéré comme le pionnier de l'entomologie médico-légale). REFERENCES: Benecke M: A brief survey of the history of forensic entomology (Ein kurzer Streifzug durch die Geschichte der forensischen Entomologie), Acta Biologica Benrodis 2008;14: 15-38: "In 1879, the president of the French Society of Forensic Medicine, BROUARDEL reported another early case. In his report, after referencing the work of BERGERET (l.c.), BROUARDEL (1879) describes the case of a newborn child that was autopsied by him on January 15, 1878. The mummified body was inhabited by several arthropods, including butterfly larvae and mites, which led to a request for assistance from Monsieur PERIER, professor at the Museum of Natural History in Paris, and army veterinarian J.P. MÉGNIN. PERIER reported that the body was most likely dried out before it was abandoned. The determination of mites was left to MÉGNIN whereas PERIER determined the butterfly larvae as ?chenilles d?aglosses?, i.e., larvae from the genus Aglossa (small moth, family Pyralidae). From the state of preservation and from the larvae found, PERIER stated that the baby may have been born and died the summer before (?de l?été dernier probablement?), i.e., around six to seven months before the corpse was autopsied."; Alejandra Perotti M: Mégnin re-analysed: the case of the newborn baby girl, Paris, 1878, Experimental and Applied Acarology volume 49, pages37?44(2009): "This paper analyses acarological evidence from a 130-year-old forensic investigation. It was the first case in forensic acarology, i.e., the first case where mites provided substantial information to estimate the post-mortem interval (PMI). In 1878, the mites found in the mummified body of a newborn baby girl in Paris, France, were studied by acarologist and forensic entomologist Jean Pierre Mégnin [.]. The new projections indicate that non-phoretic mites may have colonised the body just after death and the colony would have built up over 8 months, contrary to the 5 months proposed by Mégnin. This new lapse of time agrees with the PMI proposed by Brouardel: on 15 January 1878 he postulated the death of the newborn to have occurred some 8 months before the autopsy.".
