Auguste-Henri Forel (September 1, 1848 – July 27, 1931) was a Swiss myrmecologist, neuroanatomist and psychiatrist, notable for his investigations into the structure of the human brain and that of ants. For example, he is considered a co-founder of the neuron theory.[1] Forel is also known for his early contributions to sexology and psychology.[2]
From 1978 until 2000 Forel’s image appeared on the 1000 Swiss franc banknote.
I actually own what appears to be a 1938 reprint of the 1922 edition (obtained at Churchill's Booklovers' Haunt in downtown Yakima, WA -- well worth a trip next time you're in Yakima). This book is sort of an amazing period piece.
