Émile Oustalet

Jean-Frédéric Émile Oustalet (24 August 1844 – 23 October 1905) was a French zoologist who contributed greatly to ornithology.

He studied at the Ecole des Hautes-Etudes and his first scientific work was on the respiratory organs of dragonfly larvae.

He was employed at the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, where he succeeded Jules Verreaux as assistant-naturalist in 1875.

[4] Oustalet attended the International Ornithological Congress at Vienna (1884), Budapest (1891), London (1905) and presided in Paris (1900).

A species of Malagasy chameleon, Furcifer oustaleti, was named in his honor by François Mocquard in 1894.
