Additional Reading 
Humpback Whales (p. 30) 
General books on whales containing 
information about humpbacks include: 
Whales, Dolphins, and Porpoises , 
edited by K. Norris (Berkeley: Univer- 
sity of California Press, 1977); The Year 
of the Whale, by V.B. Scheffer (New 
York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1969), 
which has an annotated bibliography; 
The Whale: Mighty Monarch of the 
Sea, by J.Y. Cousteau and P Diole, 
translated from the French by J.F. 
Bernard (Garden City: Doubleday and 
Co., 1972); The Great Whales, by F. 
McNulty (Garden City: Doubleday and 
Co., 1974); and The Book of Whales, 
written and illustrated by R. Ellis (New 
York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1980). The Jan- 
uary 1979 issue of National Geographic 
contains two articles on humpback 
whales. Marine biologist S.A. Earle re- 
counts her observations from a research 
project on humpbacks in Hawaii in 
“Humpbacks: The Gentle Giants” (pp. 
2-17), with photographs by A. Giddins. 
Interested in humpbacks as “floating 
islands of the sea,” Earle set out to 
observe the whales in their own realm 
and went on various swimming expedi- 
tions with them. Zoologist R. Payne, 
who studied the complex songs of the 
humpbacks for twelve years, suggests 
their sound sequences may relate to 
social behavior and possibly to intelli- 
gence in “The Mysterious Songs” (pp. 
18-25). The issue also contains “Songs 
of the Humpback Whale,” an accompa- 
nying, detachable sound sheet reproduc- 
ing some of the whale songs. Longer 
samples of humpback whale songs are 
available on two albums released by 
Capitol Records, Songs of the Hump- 
back Whale (SW-60) and Deep Voices 
(ST-1 1598). Natural History’s last arti-
