    display of a great procession and a solemn function in the draped cathedral of Notre Dame. Dumas, Vulpian, P. Bert, Moreau, and others spoke at the grave in the name of the several societies and institutions with which Bernard had been connected. A year later, in February, 1879, Paul Bert, who followed Bernard in the chair at the Sorbonne, and was, perhaps, his favourite pupil, delivered a discourse upon him in a Conference at the Sorbonne ; and a little later, in April, Renan, in succeeding Bernard at the Academic Fran^aise, pro- nounced his Eloge. In 1886, a bronze statue was erected to him in the court of the College de France, the seat of his so many brilliant labours ; and in 1894 another statue was erected at Lyons, in the great court of the Faculty of Medicine and Science.
