MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
[drawing of a dugong]
THE DUGONG
This remarkable animal which is found all along the North eastern coast of Australia, from Moreton Bay to Cape York, belongs to the tribe of herbivorous whales, and in its general form somewhat resembles the common cete. The skin is smooth and thick, bluish above and white beneath, with a few remote and scattered hairs; the mammae are situated on the chest, under the fins. The head is of a peculiar form, the upper lip very large and thick, & obliquely truncated, forming a short, thick, and nearly vertical kind of mouth, something like the trunk of the Elephant cut short across.
The lips are covered with a sort of horny substance, which assists in tearing the sea weeds for feed. Two short tusks project forward from the extremity of the upper jaw, which are nearly covered by the upper the eyes are small, and the ear aperture is so minute, that it can only with difficulty be perceived - The skin is three quarters of an inch thick, and the insides of the cheeks are studdied [studded] with strong projecting bristles - The food of the Dugong appears to consist of various seaweeds which it finds at the bottom of the inlets of the sea: if browses on these vegetables in the same manner as a Cow in a meadow - The flesh is delicate & palatable somewhat resembling young beef, - The Dugong in size seldom exceeds 12 or fourteen feet - The oil obtained from its fat is peculiarly clear & limpid and quite free from that disagreeable odour which generally accompanies most animal oil - It burns with a clear & brilliant flame, and is much valued as an article for supplying their lamps by the settlers at Moreton Bay, where a number of these animals are killed annually for the sake of the oil they contain - It was once contemplated, to bring it [?]
use with the addition of perfumes as a hair oil; and the gentleman who contemplated doing so as a matter of Commercial Speculation, first tried its qualities upon himself. Strange to say, its use was followed by an extrordinary [extraordinary] shedding of hair; a trial by the wife of the experimentalist
