Jean Baptiste Vérany

Chevalier Jean Baptiste Vérany (1800 in Nice 1865) was a French pharmacist and naturalist who specialised in the study of cephalopods.

In 1846, with Jean-Baptiste Barla (1817–1896), he founded the Muséum d'histoire naturelle de Nice. Vérany discovered and described many species. André Étienne d'Audebert de Férussac named Chiroteuthis veranyi for him.
