Über Gehirne tertiärer Sirenia Ägyptens und Mitteleuropas sowie der rezenten Seekühe.
Abh. Bayer. Akad. Wiss., math.-natw. Abt. (n.s.) 20: 5-36.
–Edinger (1975) says in part concerning this item: "'Brain and endocranial cast in sirenians' (pp. 6-14) details the safely interpretable features of the latter, and warning of likely errors, e.g., the lack of petrosal bones can simulate an enormously broad cerebellum on endocasts.... 'New fossil material' (pp. 14-25) consists of six Protosiren, figs. 4-5; one fragment of Eosiren, fig. 6; three Halitherium, figs. 7a-c, 8, 9; three Rhytina, not figured. 'Paleoneurological contributions to ecology and phylogeny of the Sirenians' (pp. 25-30) and 'Summarizing remarks' (pp. 30-32) stress the almost basically unchanged character Eocene-to-Recent, and that the Eocene brain represents a type common to early subungulates, being, except for olfactory reduction, similar to that of Arsinoitherium, and that of Moeritherium...." To this annotation the editors of Edinger (1975) (q.v.) append a discussion of an unpublished endocast of Desmostylus.

Two notes on the central nervous system of fossil Sirenia.
Bull. Fac. Sci. Fouad I Univ. (Cairo) 19: 43-58. 3 pls.
–Arabic summ. Edinger (1975) gives the following annotation: "I: A newly discovered "brain" of an old Protosiren, pp. 43-50, Pl. I (dorsal), Pl. II (frontal, reduced olfactory bulbs!), Pl. III; II: On the spinal cord of fossil Sirenia, pp. 51-57. As the lumen of the neural canal in the vertebral column of Recent, Pliocene, and Miocene Sirenia diminishes caudad from the brachial enlargement, its enlargement in the posterior dorsal vertebrae in Miocene, Oligocene, and Eocene forms indicates that a lumbar intumescence of the spinal cord was maintained during reduction of femur and pelvis."
