–Allen 367. Ed. 3, 1793. Sirs., 536-545: whale-tailed manati, 536-539; round-tailed manati, 540-544; sea ape, 544-545. Allen says: "The first is primarily Steller's Sea Cow; the second includes both the American and African Manatees; the last is a ... myth." See also J. M. Bechstein (1800). The fig. of an African manatee from the 1793 ed. is reproduced by Durand (1983: 180-181).
The name "Manati Clusii" (= Trichechus manatus) was introduced in the 3rd ed., vol. 2, p. 298, based on Clusius's figure.
