Pictet était professeur de zoologie et d'anatomie comparée à l'Académie de Genève."Pictet treated palaeontology as an essential part of the studies of zoology, comparative anatomy and botany. He confined himself in his treatise to fossil animals and adhered a strict systematic order throughout his work, constantly keeping in view the characteristics of the corresponding living forms. At the same time the geological occurrence of the fossils is nowhere omitted" (Zittel) Bibliographie - Zittel : Geschichte der Geologie und Palaeontologie, p. 778.
