Dear linguists,

I am chasing up a reference attributed to Catford.
I have been told that he has discussed the acoustic reasons that lie behind a 
perceived link between the use of aspiration to contrast plosives and the 
elevation at which that language can be found (possibly in a study of 
languages of the Caucasus).

Can anyone help me to find this reference?
Thanks,

Mark Donohue
