Show blind cave fishes an interesting addition has recently been made to the natural history museum south kensington london by the receipt of specimens of some of the blind fishes of cuba the special interest of these fishes lies in the fact that their alliance is with saltwater forms which exist in the neighboring affia and not with fresh water fishes as is the case with am gopsis and its allies of the great cave of kentucky there can be little doubt that the cuban caves in which the blind fishes are found were form ariy in communication with the sea and that the ancestors of these fishes entered the caves from the adjacent ocean |
