Owen, Richard (detail)
   
1875b
On Prorastomus sirenoides (Ow.). - Part II.
Quart. Jour. Geol. Soc. London 31: 559-567. Pls. 28-29.
–Rev.: Geol. Mag. (2)12(9): 422-423, Sept. 1875. Amplifies the 1855 description of P. sirenoides following further preparation of the type specimen; compares it with other sirs.; and discusses its possible mode of tooth replacement and its implications for an early common ancestry of sirs. and ungulates. On p. 560 he introduces, probably inadvertently, a new name (Halicore malayana) for the Recent dugong.
