At the risk of stating the obvious, have you Googled:

Jamaica Caves 1967

?

I seem to remember going to a talk at Bristol Univ on  this subject in 1968.

and of  course, there is a book:

JAMAICA UNDERGROUND / The Caves, Sinkholes and Underground Rivers of the Island by Alan G Fincham  1997 [March 1998] 2nd ed  447 pp 45 plates including 24 colour photos  300 line drawings.  This first edition, published in 1977 was little more than a computer print out, lacking lower case!  This is a state of the art guidebook with all the usual grid refs, alt, length, depth, description and in many cases a survey.  There are also chapters on: Cave exploration and speleology in Jamaica; recollections of the Jamaica Caving Club; early cave investigations in Jamaica by Trevor Shaw; geomorplogy, hydrology, vertebrate paleontology, biospeleology; histoplasmosis; etc.  Nicely indexed and cross referenced this is an essential book for any caving library  SB

usually available on  fleabay.
