FISH and VANIA: KILLER WHALE SOUNDS 



More experiments are necessary before we can 

 conclude whether or not the belugas recognized 

 the killer whale sounds as such. 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



We thank Dr. William C. Cummings for his 

 suggestions on the manuscript, George E. Lingle 

 and John B. Webster for assisting with the data, 

 and the New England Fish Company for pro- 

 viding laboratory space and aiding with the field 

 work. Fish's work was supported by Indepen- 

 dent Research funding of the Naval Undersea 

 Research and Development Center during his 

 appointment as a NRC-NUC Postdoctoral Re- 

 search Associate, and Vania's in part by Fed- 

 eral Aid to Wildlife Restoration Funds, Project
