–Allen 950. Supplement to A. v. Humboldt (1838). Discusses the systematic position of the Orinoco manatee described by von Humboldt, concluding that it is distinct from the West Indian species and should be termed Manatus australis. Also concludes that the word "manati" derives from the Carib word for "breast", and lists other vernacular names (Manattoui, Apcia, Avia) cited by other authors (17-18).
