Summary/Abstract: Henri Marmottan (1832–1914), Friend and Correspondent of Władysław Taczanowski (1819–1890) and Antoni Waga (1799–1890). A Contribution to the History of the Warsaw Zoological Cabinet.The article presents Henri Marmottan and his cooperation with the Warsaw Zoological Cabinet. Marmottan, a correspondent of Antoni Waga and Władysław Taczanowski, sent bird specimens to Warsaw. From Poland, he received both birds and insects for his collections. The text also includes an analysis of Marmottan’s correspondence with Konstanty Branicki. In the collections of the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, where the Marmottan collections are kept, the authors found specimens sent from Poland, and in the collections of the Museum and Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences, specimens sent by him from Paris. Marmottan’s scientific cooperation with Polish zoologists is presented in the context of the epoch, the Russian occupation of Warsaw, the Franco-Prussian war, and the Paris Commune.
