SUMMARY — The less specialized members of the Florida and 

 south Georgia cave faunas include: unidentified zooplankton, sponges, 

 one colonial cnidarian, two branchiobdellid annelids, unidentified 

 aeolosomatid oligocheates, two bivalves, five prosobranch and nine 

 pulmonata gastropods, four entocytherid and several other ostracods, 

 unidentified copepods, one isopod, two amphipods, eight decapods

 on troglobite hosts. Of the vertebrates, a few fishes {Anguilla rostrata, 

 Notropis harperi, Ameiurus natalis), one salamander (Eurycea 

 longicauda), two frogs (Rana catesbeiana, R. utricularia, and five bats 

 {Pipistrellis subflavus, Myotis austroriparius, M. grisescens, M. keeni, 

 and M. sodalis) appear to have more than a casual relationship with 

 Florida caves. Myotis grisescens, M. keeni, and M. sodalis are the only
