In 1881, Jouy traveled to Japan and China to collect zoological and ethnographic specimens for the Smithsonian Institution. He then traveled to Korea to observe and collect fauna while he served in the United States Legion. Later, he spent some years living in Fusan under the Chinese custom of Korea. After returning to the United States, he moved to Arizona and spent time in Mexico in 1882. He collected plant specimens and made important contributions to herpetology. His specimens were bought by the United States National Museum.
