1959
A review of the Sirenia and Desmostylia.
Univ. California Publ. Geol. Sci. 36(1): 1-146. Tabs. 19 figs. 14 pls. July 24, 1959.
–An important survey and partial revision of the two orders, emphasizing the North American fossil record. Reviews the phylogeny of the Trichechidae (3-5); proposes a new suprageneric classification of sirs., introducing the new subfamily names Prorastominae (5), Protosireninae (6), and Halianassinae (8). Describes Caribosiren turneri, n.gen.n.sp. (Middle Olig., Puerto Rico; 8-21), and Halianassa vanderhoofi, n.sp. (Late Mioc., California; 23-44). Describes partial skulls and other material of Halianassa sp. indet. (Mioc., Baja California; 44-49; later made the type of Dusisiren reinharti Domning, 1978) and Eotheroides sp. indet. (Late Eoc., Egypt; 53-56). Discusses the morphology and evolution of the lacrimal, mesethmoid, nasal, and frontal bones in sirs. (57-62), and reviews other fossil sirs. in passing.
  Reviews the synonymy and morphology of Desmostylus (64-89); describes Vanderhoofius coalingensis, n.gen.n.sp. (Mioc., California; 90-93), Paleoparadoxidae [sic], n.fam., Paleoparadoxia, n.gen., and P. tabatai, n.comb. (Mioc., Japan & California; 94-100). Discusses the habits, phylogeny, and classification of the Desmostylia (101-109), concluding that the Sirenia, Desmostylia, and Proboscidea form a monophyletic group within the Paenungulata.

1976
Fossil sirenians and desmostylids from Florida and elsewhere.
Bull. Florida St. Mus., Biol. Sci. 20(4): 187-300. 8 tabs. 39 figs. July 9, 1976.
–The material on Metaxytherium ossivallense is revised from Reinhart's Master of Science thesis in Geology (Univ. of Chicago, Dec. 1947).
  Synonymizes Felsinotherium and Halianassa with Metaxytherium and reviews their morphology (191-199). Recognizes M. ossivallense, M. floridanum, M. calvertense, and Hesperosiren crataegensis in the Mioc. of Florida, and describes new material referred to each (199-235). Describes Halitherium olseni, n.sp. (Mioc., Florida; 238-261; now considered Late Olig.). Reports Eoc. rib fragments from Florida (262-265); discusses fossil sir. records from Java and Australia (266-269); describes vestigial incisors in Dugong dugon (269-272); and reports a tooth of Metaxytherium sp. indet. from the Mioc. of Argentina (272-278). Discusses trichechid phylogeny (279-281), "Manatus" maeoticus (281-282), Cryptomastodon (282-283), valid and invalid records of desmostylians from Alaska, Florida, and Texas (283-287), and new specimens of Desmostylus hesperus (288-295). Morgan (1994: 264-265) concluded that the Florida Desmostylus specimens reported here have erroneous locality data and are really from California.
