[Descriptions of new species of mammals discovered in western equatorial Africa.]
Proc. Boston Soc. Nat. Hist. 7: 358-367. Read Nov. 7, 1860.
–Tentatively proposes the new specific name Manatus Oweni, which "probably" is synonymous with M. Vogelii, if the latter be valid(!). Gives the vernacular name manga from the "Camma country", with a short description and measurements of a manatee that lacked nails; notes that the species eats leaves fallen from the banks and aquatic grass, and avoids salt water (367). See also J.E. Gray (1862).
