Random observations on habits of South American mammals.
Jour. Mamm. 12(3): 248-256. Aug. 1931.
–P. 253: {"Trichechus and Inia. - To catch manatees or porpoises, which normally sink when they are killed, men working in pairs cautiously approach the animal in separate canoes. Simultaneously one of them shoots it through the head and the other throws his harpoon into its body. In this way they kill the animal and prevent the body from sinking."} The species of Trichechus and the region of South America to which these observations pertain are not stated.
