1923
The naturalist in Manchuria. Vol. II: The mammals and birds of Manchuria.
Tientsin, Tientsin Press (5 vols., 1922-30): xxvii + 191.
–Gen. acc. of Steller's sea cow (135-137). Refers to Arthur Adams' (1870) finding of a "dugong" skull in Saghalien; suggests that it was actually a skull of Hydrodamalis and an indication of that animal's survival after 1768 (136-137). This seems unlikely (see Domning, 1978b: 138).

[The former occurrence of the dugong in Chinese waters.]
China Jour. (Shanghai) 22(2): 81-82. Feb. 1935.
–Comments on the foregoing article by G. M. Allen (1935); questions the occurrence of the dugong in China. Also discusses the accounts of Read (1931) and Arthur Adams (1870). I consider Sowerby's identification of the dugong with Read's (1931: 52) "sea animal" too tenuous.
