| 1945 | The principles of classification and a classification of mammals. Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist. 85: xvi + 350. Oct. 5, 1945. –Presents a revised classification of the Sirenia (including desmostylians) to genus; recognizes four trichechiform families (Prorastomidae, Protosirenidae, Dugongidae, Trichechidae) (135-136, 240, 251-252). Resurrects Halianassa as a senior synonym of Metaxytherium, thereby causing much later instability in nomenclature. Comments on Owen's term "Mutilata" (= Sirenia + Cetacea) (214). | ||
