About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1866 edition. Excerpt: ...Archipelago, throughout the greater part of which it is found. It does not appear to be known north of the Indian Archipelago, or on the coasts of China or Japan. Riippel thought that the individuals found in the Red Sea were distinct from the Indian Dugong, and proposed the name of Halicore Tahernaculi, for the species found there in case it should prove distinct.J The separation of the islands of the Indian Archipelago and New Guinea into a Malayan region and an Australian region, is borne out even by this marine genus, for at the Straits of Timor a new species makes its appearance. This has also been met with by Jukes on the north coast of Australia, at Endeavour Strait, in 22 S. Lat. It has since been found in considerable numbers in Moreton Bay, but not further to the south. It is, however, plentiful along the north coast. It was figured and described by Professor Owen under the name of Halicore Australis. Records of the Dugong having been found along the northern coast of Australia are numerous, and no doubt belong to this new species, although they are stated as being the old H. Cetacea, for until the new one was ascertained to bo distinct, the attention of observers was not drawn to this point, and all who saw it took it for granted that it was the common species. The chief distinguishing character is the development of six teeth in each jaw, while the Indian Dugong has only five; a most insufficient character, if the dentition of the Dugong is at all of the same nature as that of the Manatee, in which the number of teeth is an individual affair dependent upon age, not a specific character. The species may be a good one, notwithstanding. There must have been something in it which first suggested the idea of its being distinct...
