Abstract
Seaβlevel pools are found in most of Bermuda's known caves. Although the terrestrial fauna of the caves is sparse, a rich aquatic fauna inhabits the pools. While many of the marine cave animals are more or less regular immigrants from open littoral habitats, a number of new species have been discovered, including blind and probably subterranean ones. Zoogeographical connections exist between Bermuda's cave fauna and those of the West Indies and the Mediterranean.
