–An interesting collection of general information on American manatees (114-128) and Steller's sea cow (128-136); quotes extensively from earlier authors and thereby provides a handy literature review. Includes a partial transl. of Steller (1751) by A. Charles True (130-134), and a report by Lucien Turner "that an aged Aleut woman stated that Rhytina had been seen at Attu by her father" (136).
