Zusammenfassung:The thirteen gypsum solution caves in north central Texas here described occur within the Permian Blaine Formation. Four are of vadose origin, four were developed by solution in the phreatic zone, and five were not studied in sufficient detail to determine their origin. Diagnostic features and histories of two caves, one representative of those having a vadose origin and one representative of a phreatic origin, are discussed.
