The origin of the databases found on these pages is explained more thoroughly on the Provenance page. They are presented here
as an aid to researchers and cavers with the hope, and expectation, that this information will not be used in a fashion that will result
in exploitation of, or damage to, the cave systems listed on this site.
Those interested in these databases will already be aware of the book, Jamaica Underground, by Alan G. Fincham. Be advised that the lists found on this website are a poor substitute for Mr. Fincham's important work.
The previous versions of the register have now been superseded by the 2012 edition. It is currently the definitive version, and contains every documented speleological site in Jamaica. We have left in place the earlier databases, which can be found lower on the page.
