Enciclopédia dos sirênios: peixes-bois e dugongos.
Recife, Univ. Federal Rural de Pernambuco: 1-229. 15 tabs. 1 fig.
–Title page bears date 1994; wrapper says 1995. Not an encyclopedia in the usual sense, this is a compilation of data similar to Ronald et al. (1978). It consists largely of direct quotes assembled from other authors, and covers the history of study of sirs., their paleontology, distribution, systematics, morphology (by organ system), feeding habits, predators and parasites, economic aspects, conservation, etymology of some Linnean names, and protective legislation in various countries. The bibliography includes 95 titles, of which almost all the technical works on sirs. predate 1985.
