| 1944 | O peixe-boi da Amazônia. Bol. Minist. Agric. (Rio de Janeiro) 33(5): 21-95. 1 fig. 11 photos. 1 map. May 1944. –Reset and republished as a monograph in 1945 (Manaus, D.E.I.P.-S.S.A.: 1-180. 1 fig. 13 photos. 1 map. Date "1947" on cover) and again in 1954 (Rio de Janeiro, Minist. Agric., Div. Caça e Pesca), with minor corrections, changes, and errors in the text, additional photographs, an expanded bibliography, and (on p. 62 of the 1954 ed.) a new footnote on vernacular names. In this, the most significant work on T. inunguis published up to its time and Pereira's most important contribution on sirs., he gives a detailed account, including history of study (21-37), of the natural history and commercial exploitation of the Amazonian manatee (which he considers to be T. manatus!). | ||
