Zusammenfassung:THE irregular appearance of an unusual component of the sea-noise spectrum in the waters to the east of the North Island first attracted attention in 1963. Measurements carried out over a period of several months showed that these signals invariably came from one direction, and led to the conclusion that the source was probably geophysical rather than biological in origin. Cross-bearing measurements ultimately pointed to the source lying some 160 miles east-north-east of Great Barrier Island.
