Title: Contribution à l'étude de l'hippopotame nain, subfossile de Madagascar (craniologie)
Description: This was Madame Jarniat's doctoral thesis at the University of Madagascar.  She was my landlady a 6 Avenue Constant Coquelin in Paris from 1993 through 1996.  She lived principally in Reunion but visited Paris regularly and used the unrented portion of this apartment (on the ground floow) when in town.  She was very old at the time and I have no doubt that she has now passed away.  But she told me personally about this thesis, and her strong suspicion that after it was submitted, no one ever read it again.

I have a few photos of Mme. Jarniat if anyone is interested.  tfuller@deloitte.com
