1967
The Late-Pleistocene extinction and diminution in size of many mammalian species. In: P. S. Martin & H. E. Wright, Jr. (eds.), Pleistocene extinctions: the search for a cause.
New Haven & London, Yale Univ. Press (453 pp.): 141-154.
–P. 148: {"Even some local forms of sea mammals, like the Florida seal (Rouse, 1951) and the California Steller's sea cow (which survived in a refuge in the Bering Sea), were eventually exterminated. Such examples are significant, for the only sea mammals to become extinct in prehistoric times were unusually vulnerable to human hunters because of occasional sojourns on land or at least littoral habits."}
