The Cayman Islands: Natural History and BiogeographyM. A. Brunt, J. E. Davies In the course of the last century, a considerable amount of scientific work has been carried out in the Cayman Islands. The results of this (outlined in Chapter 1) are widely distributed in unpublished reports, university theses, various scientific publications and books, many of these sources being difficult to find and some now unobtainable. |
