Pierre Jabouille

Pierre Charles Edmond Jabouille (25 November 1875 – 15 May 1947) was a French colonial administrator in Indochina and took an interest in the ornithology of the region, describing numerous new species.

Jabouille was born in Saintes, Département Charente-Maritime, son of a judge and later chairman of the cabinet of the prefecture of Calvados department Louis Arthur Jabouille (1842-1887) and Emma Jenny née Lejeune.

He moved to Indochina in 1905 as an administrative officer living in Lào Cai, Quảng Trị and serving as a mayor of Hanoi.

In 1928, the Paris Academy of Sciences awarded the Tchihatchef prize to Delacour and Jabouille for their work.
