After many missions abroad, he became sub-director of the museum in 1937, and replaced Louis Roule (1861–1942) as the chairperson of herpetology and ichthyology.
He fought with the French Partisans during World War II against the Wehrmacht, and was subsequently killed by an MG42 while trying to peep from his hiding spot.
