Verzeichniss der Gypsabgüsse von dem ausgezeichnetsten urweltlichen Thierresten des Grossherzoglichen Museum zu Darmstadt.... Zweite vermehrte und verbesserte Ausgabe.
Darmstadt, Johann Philipp Diehl: 1-28. 6 figs. Sept. 1834.
–Apparently the first publication of the nomen nudum Pugmeodon Schinzii (16), based on a tooth (not illustrated) "Aus dem tertiären Sand bei Flonheim..." (Oligocene, Germany). I have not seen the first (1832) ed. and cannot say if this name appeared there also.
  The spelling Pygmeodon appeared in 1835 in the Amtlicher Bericht über die Versammlung Deutscher Naturforscher und Ärzte (Stuttgart) 12: 106, in a report of the meeting of Sept. 25, 1834. I take this alternate spelling to be an unintentional misspelling of Pugmeodon, and for purposes of nomenclature, an incorrect subsequent spelling and an unavailable name.

1838a
[Über Zähnen von Halytherium und Pugmeodon aus Flonheim. Letter dated May 14, 1838.]
Neues Jahrb. Min. Geogn. Geol. Pet. 1838: 318-320. Pl. 2.
–Allen 936. Discusses and illustrates (319, pl. 2) teeth of Halytherium dubium and Pugmeodon Schinzii from the Oligocene of Flonheim, Germany. This was the first publication of the name Halytherium (soon changed by its author to Halitherium) and the first valid publication of P. Schinzii, which was previously a nomen nudum.

1838b
[Über Zähnen von Halitherium und Dugong.]
Neues Jahrb. Min. Geogn. Geol. Pet. 1838: 536.
–Allen 937. The original spelling Halytherium is here changed to Halitherium. Corrects the statement in Kaup (1838a) that the dugong has only two cheek teeth, rather than five [actually six!], and contrasts the root construction in this genus with that of Halitherium.

–Allen 997. Discusses, and hopelessly ensnarls, the synonymy of Halitherium, Halianassa, Hippopotamus, and Manatus spp.; mentions the name "Fucotherium" as one he will not propose (675); and proposes the replacement name "Pontotherium Bruno" for Cheirotherium Bruno (676)!

1855
Beitraege zur naeheren Kenntniss der urweltlichen Saeugethiere.... Zweites Heft.
Darmstadt, C. W. Leske: 1-23. 7 pls.
–The entire work was published in five parts, 1854-1861; see also Kaup (1861). Here he proposes a quinarian classification of sirs. and other mammals.
  Quinarian classification was a system of grouping taxa into sets of five that could be arranged in interlocking circles. It was developed by the English amateur entomologist William Sharp Macleay starting in 1819. See M. P. Winsor, Starfish, jellyfish, and the order of life: issues in nineteenth-century science (New Haven, Yale Univ. Press, 1976), pp. 82-97, for some historical and bibliogaphical information on this system.
