The work: Dictionnaire Universel d’Histoire Naturelle , by Charles d'Orbigny (September 1802 - June 1857) . Orbigny was a French naturalist who made major contributions in many areas, including zoology, malacology, palaeontology, geology, archaeology and anthropology. D'Orbigny travelled on a mission for the Paris Museum, in South America between 1826 and 1833, and returned to France with an enormous collection of more than 10,000 natural history specimens. He described part of his findings in La Relation du Voyage dans l'Amérique Méridionale pendant les annés 1826 � 1833. His contemporary, Charles Darwin called this book "one of the great monuments of science in the 19th century".
