| 1957 | The Red Sea dugong. Publ. Marine Biol. Station Al-Ghardaqa Red Sea No. 9: 3-49. 1 tab. 17 figs. 3 pls. –A careful and detailed account, based on 16 specimens, emphasizing external morphology, skin, and hair (6-15), the masticating plates (16-23), the tongue (24-29), the external genitalia (30-35), and internal parasites (43-45, 48). Defends the functional importance of the "vestigial" lower incisor alveoli as sites of anchorage for the masticating plate (21-22). Regards the Red Sea population as a valid subspecies, Dugong dugong [sic] tabernaculi (35-40). Describes (perhaps on the basis of information from fishermen?) a very unlikely-sounding mode of grazing, in which dugongs purportedly uproot seagrasses with the flippers, stack them in heaps, and then return to consume them in the same order (42)! Argues that dugongs may well have contributed to mermaid legends (46-47). | ||
