–Places "Trichechus manatus" in the same genus with the walrus; recognizes 2 subspecies, "Australis" and "Borealis", corresponding respectively to Trichechus and Hydrodamalis. It is "Said to delight in music" and to bellow like a bull. "The carcase of one of these animals was about sixteen years ago [i.e., 1785] thrown ashore near Leith [on the North Sea coast of Scotland, near Edinburgh on the Firth of Forth]. It was much disfigured; and the Fishermen extracted its liver and other parts, from which a considerable quantity of oil was obtained" (85).
