Summary:
All young intelligent French naturalists support CD. But the professors are afraid of being called materialists, atheists, or communists.
A paper of his ["Sur l’origine paléontologique", C. R. Hebd. Acad. Sci. 84 (1877): 534–7] met with silence, except from Bureau. If only France had become Protestant!
