Recent explorations of marine caves in several of the world's                oceans have revealed a diversity of new species, genera, and                    higher categories of invertebrates.  Dr. Iliffe proposes to                     continue his collecting efforts in the Indo-Pacific, with partial               support provided by the National Geographic Society.  Dr. Iliffe                will make collections and document the cave habitats, and then                  distribute the organisms to collaborating specialists who will                  describe them and study their evolutionary relationships.                          The evolutionary histories of the cave-dwellers will in part                 reflect the history of ocean bottom on which they occur.                        Continental drift and sea-floor spreading will affect, if not                   dictate the past and present distributions of cave faunas. The                  wider implications of the research involve not only a clearer                   picture of one of the world's remainig unexplored biotas, but the               unravelling of how earth history impacts on evolution.
