Cetacea. In: Robert B. Todd (ed.), Todd's cyclopaedia of anatomy and physiology.
Vol. 1: 562-594. Figs. 246-279.
–Allen 875. As Allen explains, most of the content is derived from F. Cuvier (1836)(q.v.). Lists Manatus (2 spp.), Halicore (2 spp.), and Rytina (1 sp.) as the members of the new Tribe Phytophaga in the Order Cetacea. This classification, and the new name Phytophaga, are presumably the work of Todd rather than Cuvier.
