I think I recall hearing that Gregory Bateson's _Steps to an Ecology of
Mind_ (1972) discussed dolphin inteligence. I see in the library catalogue
that he has also written a new book, _Sacred Unity: Further Steps to an
Ecology of Mind_ (1991), but I don't know anything about it. Hope that's
useful.
