| 1828 | A history of British animals. Edinburgh, Bell & Bradfute; London, Duncan: xxiii + 565. –Ed. 2 (London, Duncan & Malcolm, 1842) identical. Gives account of a "Manatus borealis" stranded at Newhaven, near Leith, Scotland, in 1785, fide Stewart, 1817 (29). Fleming confounds Trichechus and Hydrodamalis in his description, also mentioning Fabricius' specimen, but then goes on (30) to distinguish "Manatus" from "Rytina". Also recounts (30) the story of a "mermaid" captured in 1823; the source is cited as Edinburgh Magazine, Sept. 1823: 346, but the incident is evidently the same one described in Anon. (1829). | ||
