d'Everard was a prodigious writer, with 1,400 papers published over his lifetime. A lifelong and highly dedicated field worker, d'Everard died suddenly from complications associated with {{wpl|pneumonia}} 72 years old on February 2, 1938 in [[Lariana]], [[Talionia]], while leading a paleontological expedition. His proposal for the origin of mammalian molars is notable among his theoretical contributions. "d'Everard's rule", however, the hypothesis that mammalian lineages gradually grow larger over geologic time, while named after him, is "neither explicit nor implicit" in his work.<ref>Fürster, Johann: ''Mammalian derivation of the Permian period'', pg. 11-14. 1999.</ref> | d'Everard was a prodigious writer, with 1,400 papers published over his lifetime.
