Abstract
Caves will give rise to gravity minima detectable by the gravity meter if of sufficient volume in relation to their depth. The dimensions required for caves of different geometrical forms to give readable gravity effects are shown by curves. Maps are included of small, sharp gravity minima in Iraq which may be caused by solution caverns.
