–Engl. summ. Describes the soft parts of the ear region in specimens from Guyana and Florida. The external auditory meatus ends blindly and does not contact the tympanic membrane, which consists of unusual dense connective tissue. A large tympanic sac is present, but is part of the tympanic cavity and not homologous to the Eustachian sac of hyracoids and perissodactyls. Also discusses the functional anatomy of hearing in the manatee.

–Concludes that the Sirenia are the sister-group of the Proboscidea + Embrithopoda, and that the Desmostylia are the sister-group of a narrowly-defined Tethytheria including Sirenia, Proboscidea, and Embrithopoda.
