⁂ The Morea Scientific Expedition (an adjunct to the French military mission to the Morea), arrived in Greece in March 1829. It was organised into three sections: architecture, archaeology and natural sciences. The archaeology section was disbanded after two months but its work was included with that of the architectural section directed by the distinguished architect Guillaume Abel Blouet. This work is a companion to that of Bory de Saint-Vincent, which contains the geographical, geological, zoological and botanical reports of the expedition.
