An osteological study of the dugong, Dugong dugon (Sirenia) from India.
Marine Biology 27(2): 173-184. 4 tabs. 6 figs. Oct. 31, 1974.
–Gives data on two skeletons, 15 other skulls, 10 mandibles, and other bones; but most measurements are not defined well enough to be usable. The text is mostly a general description of dugong osteology. No evidence is found for sexual dimorphism in linear dimensions, nor for taxonomic splitting of Indian from Red Sea dugongs.
