The modern Sirenia: their distribution and status.
Biol. Jour. Linn. Soc. 5(4): 297-338. 2 figs. Pl. 1. Dec. 1973.
–An excellent and detailed review, based on wide travel and correspondence, of the present distribution of sirs., population trends, economic use and past exploitation, present hunting and hunting techniques, accidental catch, use in weed control, and existing and needed conservation measures. Rather more emphasis is placed on dugongs than on manatees. Includes an analysis of data on size, sex, pregnancy, and month of capture of some 433 dugongs taken at Numbulwar Mission, Northern Territory, Australia, in 1963-69 (333-335); limited evidence for a breeding season was found.
