Christian Hee HwassChristian Hee Hwass (1731-1803) was a Danish malacologist who is remembered for his work in conchology. Although born in Denmark, Hwass did most of his important work in France. He moved to Paris in 1780, and later Auteuil (1794). In France he collaborated with famous scientists Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829) and Heinrich Christian Friedrich Schumacher (1757-1830). Additional recommended knowledgeHwass is remembered for amassing a large shell collection which included numerous rare specimens. Many European scientists used this collection for reference work for their personal publications. Hwass's best-known written work was the 1792 publication of Encyclopedie Methodique. Although his friend Jean Guillaume Bruguière (1750-1798) is often credited as author of this encyclopedia, the majority of the work was done by Hwass. References
