ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



The inventory of Algal Cave reported here was made possible through a grant from 

 Canon U.S.A., Inc. to Glacier National Park. I am especially gratefijl to Jack Potter and Steve 

 Gniadek of Glacier National Park for their interest and support of this little project, and to Leo 

 Mamell for administering the permit that allowed collection of voucher specimens in the Park 1 

 am also indebted to Sam Martinez, who drew my attention to the isopods and accompanied me 

 on the 1999 trip to Algal Cave; Sam has been a significant influence in expanding our knowledge 

 of the biota of Montana caves Special thanks to Dr. John R. Holsinger (Old Dominion 

 University) for identification of the amphipods. Dr. Jerry J Lewis (University of Louisville) for 

 identification of the isopods, and Dr. Mark J. Wetzel (Illinois Natural History Survey) for help 

 with identification of the oligochaete worm. Finally, I thank Jim Chester of Eureka, Montana for 

 conducting the initial collections in the late 1970s, and recognizing their significance.
