"Dubois, Alain"

 
 
 Dubois, Alain (detail)
   
1991
Miscellanea nomenclatorica batrachologica (XVIII).
Alytes 8(3-4): 107-120. 4 figs.
–In French; Engl. summ. Traces the convoluted origins of the names Siren lacertina and Siren bartholini (both coined by Linnaeus' sudent Oesterdam, 1766), and the connection of the latter name with Trichechus (109, 117). It stems ultimately from a manatee from the "sea of Brazil" dissected by P. Paw (P. Pavius) in Leiden; fig. 4 reproduces a plate from Bartholin (1654: 189) showing its forelimb and manus skeleton and a rib, doubtless of a West Indian manatee.
