As in all limestone formations water finds its way downwards forming subterranean passages and rivers; but in Jamaica these features are strongly marked. In the large maps we constantly see places- marked "sink," where a river commences its underground cou...rse; at other places rivers suddenly emerge from some cave or other; and it would be interesting to connect some of them if possible. Sometimes a large hollow area is drained by one of these sink-holes; and should it become blocked at the time of flood rains the result may be most disastrous, as occurred at Cave Valley in June 1886.
There are numerous caves in this formation; the finest is that near Dry Harbour; a brief account of the larger caves is given in "The Handbook of Jamaica."
