–P. 205: {"I denne forbindelse kan det ogsaa nævnes at en russer fortalte os, at et eksemplar av havkoen (Rhytina), som skal være utdød omkring 1770 eller senest 1850, drev iland ved Indian Point for 8 -- 10 aar siden."} (Translation: "In this connection it may also be recalled that a Russian told us, that a specimen of sea cow (Rhytina), which should be extinct around 1770 or at the latest in 1850, drifted ashore at Indian Point about 8-10 years ago [i.e., circa 1911-1913].")
  "Indian Point" is now known as Cape Chaplin, on the Bering Sea coast of Russia. This is an earlier publication of the record in Sverdrup (1930)(q.v.).

–In Russian. The sir. material (p. 248) may be translated as follows: {"In connection with this it is worth mentioning that one Russian told us about a specimen of the sea cow (Rhitina), extinct by now since about the 1770s or, at the latest, the 1850s; this sea cow specimen was brought by the current to Cape Chaplin 8-10 years ago [i.e., during the period 1910-1917]."} This hearsay report is uncorroborated.
