  We study noncompact, complete, finite volume, negatively curved manifolds
$M$. We construct $M$ with infinitely generated fundamental groups in all
dimensions $n \geq 2$. We construct $M$ whose cusp cross sections are compact
hyperbolic manifolds in all dimension $n\geq 3$. In contrast we show that if
sectional curvature $-1<K(M)<0$, then cusp cross sections have zero simplicial
volume. We construct negatively curved lattices that do not contain any
parabolic isometries. We show that there are $M$ such that $\widetilde{M}$ does
not satisfy the visibility axiom. We give a condition on the curvature growth
versus the volume decay that guarantees topological finiteness. We raise a few
questions on finite volume, negatively curved manifolds.
