One of my favorite stories about the potential for cave-diving discoveries is the remipedes in an underwater cave in the Bahamas first seen by Jill Yager, who got to write a paper describing not only a new species, but a new genus, a new family, and a new class. She was a high-school biology teacher at the time. I asked her once why she skipped naming an order, but she didn't know. All living species are in the order Nectiopoda now. -- Mixon ---------------------------------------- A chicken is the egg's way of creating another egg. ---------------------------------------- You may "reply" to the address this message (unless it's a TexasCavers list post) came from, but for long-term use, save: Personal: bmi...@alumni.uchicago.edu AMCS: a...@mexicancaves.org or edi...@mexicancaves.org
