The other fish is called manati by the Indians, and there is nothing of the kind seen in Europe. |
As we have said, the manati has no appearance of hind-limbs. |
The manati is not peculiar to the Amazon river, being not less common in the Oronooko. |
Binger states that the manati was the totem of the Mande group, to which perhaps belonged originally the Susu and the dyula. |
The Mandenga are supposed to have either the manati or the hippopotamus as tanna. |
