Abstract
I NOTICE in the review of Dr. C. Hartlaub's work on the Manatees, which appears in your issue of July 8 (p. 214), that the geographical range ascribed to that animal on the West Coast of Africa has its southern limit at the Quanza. A reference to earlier writers would, I think, justify us in believing that the manatee was once to be found as far south as the Cape of Good Hope, or else that it has been confounded with the hippopotamus.
