Summary
An account is given of the stream fauna of Table Mountain. The analysis is based on intensive sampling, during all months of the year, in a selected stream, supplemented by collections from all the main streams on the mountain. An annotated faunal list includes records from published literature. It is pointed out that Table Mountain, with the rest of the Cape Peninsula Range, is virtually an island as far as the mountain stream fauna is concerned. This fauna is compared with that of the mainland mountains and reasons advanced for its paucity and lack of endemicity.
