Deraniyagala, Paulus Edward Pieris (detail)
   
1969a
Some aspects of the Tertiary Period in Ceylon.
Jour. Roy. Asiatic Soc. (Ceylon Branch) (2)12: 86-108. 5 figs. 3 pls. May 15, 1969.
–Very briefly describes Miodugong brevicranius [n.gen.n.sp.], based on a skull fragment from the Miocene Malu Member of the Jaffna Series, Ceylon (97, pl. 2). The photograph in the plate is useless. "Hypothetical reconstructions" (99) show both the dugong and a baleen whale with manatee-like tails. This appears to be the earliest of at least four publications of this and other new names in the same year; although it does not designate the names as "new", no prior publication of them is cited.
