René Maugé de Cely

René Maugé (born in 1757 - died 20 February 1802) was a French zoologist known for his work accompanying the Baudin Expedition.

Background

René Maugé was born in 1757 in Cély-en-Bière, Seine-et-Marne.[1] Details about his early life are unknown. In May 1794, he started work at the Muséum Nationale d’Histoire Naturelle where he was trained in taxidermy by Louis Dufresne.[2]

From 1796 to 1798, he joined Nicolas Baudin on a government-supported expedition to collect bird specimens in Tenerife, St. Thomas, St. Croix and Puerto Rico.[2] There, Maugé collected 296 bird specimens.[1]

On 19 October 1800, aged 42,[3] he again joined Baudin on Expédition aux terres australes (1800-1804) a voyage to Tenerife, Mauritius, Australia and Timor with the corvette Le Géographe and the store-ship Le Naturaliste.[4] Maugé was appointed by Antoine-Laurent de Jussieu, director of the Muséum Nationale d’Histoire Naturelle, as one of the official expedition zoologists. The scientific expedition and collection of specimens was challenging in the uncharted territory.[4] On the expedition to Timor, Maugé would describe at least fifty-two species new to science.[1]

On 20 February 1802, Maugé died of dysentery on board the Le Géographe off the east coast of Tasmania.[5] His body is buried at Point Mauge on Maria Island.[6][7][8][9] His death was a considerable blow to the expedition. After his death, many of Maugé's collections from Timor were dispersed and some were lost.[1]
