Histoire generale des Antilles habitées par les François. Tome ii. Contenant l histoire natverelle, enrichy de cartes & de figures.
Paris, Thomas Iolly (3 vols., 1667-1671). Illus.
–Allen 94. Manatee, 2: 199-209, pl. facing p. 195. Allen says "The account of the Manatee is more detailed [than that of the cetaceans], treating of its external characters, habits, products, and capture. The figure is like Laet's, which is a copy from that of Clusius." Du Tertre's version of the fig. is reproduced by Durand (1983: 167).
