His most important contributions were made in embryology with a series of four exhaustive memoirs on the development of the mammalian ovum; published in 1842 (rabbit), 1845 (dog), 1852 (guinea pig), and 1854 (roe deer).[2] His studies concerning animal metabolism by measuring urea were less successful, as was his research on the anatomy of skull and brain.
