–A landmark in sirenian osteology and systematics, this work definitively established the existence of three and only three Recent manatee species (here termed Manatus senegalensis, M. latirostris, and M. inunguis). It also reviews their nomenclature, describes bone by bone the cranial anatomy of both adult and juvenile specimens, discusses manatee dentitions and tooth replacement, and reviews the geographic distribution of the three species.
