conical hills and depressions. The outline of Windsor Great Cave is superimposed; it has a large old passage, and a smaller streamway in from Bamboo Bottom.

The dramatic Cockpit Country landscape attracted the attention of 19th-century European geologists, such as J.Sawkins in 1869, but the first systematic geomorphological studies were undertaken in the 1950s by the Jamaica Geological Survey under the direction of V.A.Zans (Zans, 1951) and by visiting Europeans such as Herbert Lehmann, Marjorie Sweeting, and Harold Versey. In 1955, Zans and Sweeting traversed the Cockpit Country via the Troy-Windsor trail, an ambulation that convinced Sweeting (1958) that the terrain was the result of surface dissolution, rather than collapse or groundwater upwelling. Versey (1972) nevertheless continued to stress the mechanical significance of groundwater upwelling during heavy rainfall events, particularly in peripheral areas where large, complex depressions, such as Bamboo Bottom, have deeply alluviated floors with incised drainage channels and estavelles.
