Joret's Koklass (Pheasant) Pucrasia macrolopha joretiana Heude, 1883
Reverend Hippolyte Joret (1842–1901) was a Jesuit priest. He was Heude's fellow missionary in China and procured the pheasant holotype. A race of sika deer Cervus nippon joretianus, now considered invalid, was named after him. He wrote Voyage au Hoei-tcheou fou (1880).

The Key to Scientific Names

Père Hippolyte Joret (1842-1901) French missionary to China (subsp. Pucrasia macrolopha).

More on his life here b. 8. October 1842 d. 9 December 1901

Couldn't locate where he was born and assume died in Nantes. Was not able to find this death record but It could be that his name was Hippolyte Alexis Joret or Hippolyte Constant Joret according filae.

 

[l_raty]

He would presumably be Hippolyte Alexis, and Hippolyte Constant his father.
From Filae, birth in Nantes (Loire Atlantique), death in Rezé (Loire Atlantique).

[l_raty]

Yes just found that one too.

Oddly, he is Hippolyte Alexis in the header there, but Hippolyte Louis in the text.
(The rest is as expected -- son of Hippolyte Constant, 59 yo, priest, born in Nantes.)

 

[l_raty]

Birth in Nantes, 4e canton, 8 Oct 1842 : Etatcivil, cote 1E 703, 80/111.

Hippolyte Alexis Joret here as well, so this will be correct.
Son of Hippolyte Constant Joret and Jeanne Gendron.

 

[Taphrospilus]

p. 80/111. Nevertheless death 9 December 1901 seems to be wrong.

Nevertheless death 9 December 1901 seems to be wrong
