The text also includes an analysis of Marmottan’s correspondence with Konstanty Branicki. In the collections of the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, where the Marmottan collections are kept, the authors found specimens sent from Poland, and in the collections of the Museum and Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences, specimens sent by him from Paris. Marmottan’s scientific cooperation with Polish zoologists is presented in the context of the epoch, the Russian occupation of Warsaw, the Franco-Prussian war, and the Paris Commune.
