Univ. California Publ. Amer. Archaeol. Ethnol. 45: x + 209. 13 figs. 18 pls. 1 map. Apr. 16, 1952.
–P. 26: {"The peixe-boi, or manatee (Manatus inunguis; T[ukuna]., a'iruvë), is rarely caught. The Tukuna do not kill the red dolphin (Delphinus sp.), notwithstanding their dislike for it because it scares away the fish."} This relates to the region of the Rio Solimões or Amazon between Leticia and Tonantins, Brazil.
