He travelled through Sarawak, Borneo, lived with Dayaks and then visited Java. He spent two and a half months in the Bay of Amboina collecting specimens. The collections made were studied subsequently and he published two monographs which included descriptions of the expedition. He also took an interest in physical anthropology and studied the cranial characters of the people of Valais. He became the director of the Museum of Natural History in Geneva in 1891 and held the position for 36 years. He founded the journal Swiss Review of Zoology in 1893 which he edited until his death.
