Contribution à l'étude des siréniens actuels et fossiles.... [I.] Les siréniens actuels.
Mammalia 6(2): 53-64. 9 figs. June 1942.
–An unimpressive, undistinguished survey of the distribution and osteology of living sirs., mainly T. senegalensis. The erroneous figure (fig. 7, p. 61) and statement (p. 63) on the otic region of Rhytina are corrected in Kaltenmark (1943: 24).
This and the following two papers also exist as a set of separates in a single wrapper, with continuous pagination (1-39) but the same page-breaks.

Contribution à l'étude des siréniens actuels et fossiles. II. Les siréniens fossiles. Définition d'un nouveau type.
Mammalia 6(3/4): 101-113. 4 figs. Sept.-Dec. 1942.
–Summarizes the history and nomenclature of many of the fossil sirs. of Europe. Describes the skull of Metaxytherium cuvieri illustrated by Depéret & Roman (1920: pl. 7, fig. 3) as "Metaxytherium nov. spec." (105-113). Refers Halitherium guettardi Gervais, 1867 to Metaxytherium (113).

Contribution à l'étude des siréniens actuels et fossiles. III. Essai de phylogénie.
Mammalia 7(1): 14-25. 7 figs. March 1943.
–Carries phylogenetic reliance on the frontal-nasal relationship to the ultimate extreme, dividing sirs. into two groups, with all the living forms in one lump descended from Felsinotherium! Fig. 6 shows an interesting Hydrodamalis skull with very large nasals.
