Biographical data
Name: Dufresne, Gustav  
Born: 1829
Died: 1905
 
Notes:
Sissa of Jan. 1864 has 'J. Dufresne' of Rotterdam, in Paris on his way to Batavia, but this is an error for 'G. Dufresne', as pointed out by G. Dufresne himself in a letter to Sissa (p.324). Gustav Dufresne was a nephew of Jean Dufresne.
