East African mammals: an atlas of evolution in Africa. Vol. 1.
London & New York, Academic Press: x + 446. Illus.
–Gen. acc. (with a number of erroneous statements) of dugongs and their occurrence and natural history in East Africa, with an interesting series of the author's sketches of dugongs from life and from photos (388-399, 431-432). These include drawings of the superficial musculature - the first ever published, but unfortunately not described or labeled. One of them is a figure of the skull with a transparent overlay of the facial muscles.
