Hoeven

Hoeven, VAN der, Jan, was born at Rotterdam in 1801, and studied medicine at Leyden, where, after practising for some years as a physician, he became, in 1835, professor of zoology. His Manual of Zoology, translated into English in 1854. was long regarded as one of the best text-books of that science. He died in 1868.
