Notices of remains of extinct Mammalia, discovered by Dr. F. V. Hayden, in Nebraska Territory.
Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia 8: 88-90. Read Apr. 8, 1856.
–Describes Ischyrotherium antiquus (sic), n.gen.n.sp., a supposed sir. based on vertebrae and rib fragments from the Nebraska Territory (89). Later, Leidy (1869) decided these remains were reptilian. The holotype is USNM 6643, and is evidently referable to Plesiosauria.

Notice of some remains of extinct vertebrated animals.
Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia 8(5): 163-165. Sept. 1856.
–P. 165: {"7. Manatus antiquus, Leidy [n.sp.]. / The species is predicated on fragments of ribs found in the miocene deposits of New Jersey and Virginia, and on a fragment of a rib and an isolated molar tooth, discovered by Capt. Bowman, U.S.A., in the sands of Ashley river, South Carolina. The tooth apparently corresponds to the sixth or seventh upper molar of M. latirostris, Harlan, than which it is considerably larger. It has no anterior basal ridge, but from both of the inner lobes of the crown the summits are prolonged in a curved line to the middle of the outer lobes. The specimen measures in both diameters 9½ lines."}

The extinct mammalian fauna of Dakota and Nebraska, including an account of some allied forms from other localities, together with a synopsis of the mammalian remains of North America.
Jour. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia (2)7: 23-472. 30 pls.
–Summ.: Jour. Zool. 1: 187-191, 500-508, pls. 10-11, 2: 541-545, 1872? The synopsis includes the reported American species and occurrences of Manatus and Prorastomus, and also discusses Leidy's taxon Ischyrotherium, which he now considers a reptile rather than a sir. (414). (Hay [1902] provisionally assigned Ischyrotherium to the Champsosauridae.)

–P. 570: {"From among a collection of fossils from the Ashley phosphate beds [South Carolina], recently submitted to his [Leidy's] inspection by Mr. J. M. Gliddon, of the Pacific Guano Company, the specimens were selected which were presented for the examination of the meeting. One of them is a well-preserved tooth of a Megatherium; another, a characteristic portion of the skull of a manatee; ...."} It is likely that these were the specimens that formed the subject of Leidy (1877), below.

Fragments of ribs of a Manatee, Manatus antiquus."} These specimens, apparently the first fossil sir. remains reported from the Bone Valley phosphate district, were referred to Metaxytherium floridanum by Domning (1988). They can still be seen at the Wagner Free Institute in Philadelphia.
