List of vanishing Gambian mammals.
Jour. Soc. Preserv. Fauna Empire 31: 62-66.
–States that, though manatees are "rare" in the Gambia River, "about a dozen are caught daily" (!) in fishermen's nets, "but only small specimens weighing from 10 to 40 lb. each." Also, "out of 100 Crocodiles cut open only one contained part of a Manatee." Recommends absolute protection for the species in the future (63-64, 66).
