–Allen 272. Text in Latin and French. Sirs., 49-51. In the second, Latin ed., having the same Latin title as above (Lugduni Batavorum [= Leiden], Theodor Haak: [6] + 296, 1762; "Editio altera auctior"), the sir. material is on pp. 164-166. Here, all known sirs., explicitly including the dugong and Steller's sea cow as well as Amazonian and other manatees, are lumped in the genus Phoca and species manatus. Brisson, however, does not consistently use binominal nomenclature; hence this work (specifically, the 1762 ed.) is considered unavailable for most nomenclatural purposes (see, e.g., A. Gentry, Bull. Zool. Nomencl. 51(2): 135-146, June 1994; ICZN Opinion 1894).
