With his sister, Valérie Boissier (1813-1894), he received a strict education with lessons delivered in Italian and Latin.

Sclerocephalus
''Sclerocephalus'' is an extinct genus of temnospondyl amphibian from the lowermost Permian of Germany and Czech Republic with four valid species, including the type species ''S. haeuseri''. It is one of the most completely preserved and most abundant Palaeozoic tetrapods. ''Sclerocephalus'' was once thought to be closely related to eryopoid temnospondyls, but it is now thought to be more closely related to archegosauroids. It is the only genus in the family Sclerocephalidae. Description and lifestyle The adults animals reached a body length of ca. 150 cm, and had an elongate trunk and a laterally compressed tail. In some specimens lateral line sulci are retained. These body features suggest an aquatic mode of life, with aquatic larvae that probably breathed with external gills like modern tadpoles, while the adults breathed with lungs. ''Sclerocephalus'' underwent significant changes during its ontogeny, for example the eyes are much larger and the tail much longer in la ...
