Arguments are presented for believing that a large fraction of the 'missing mass' may be in binary black hole remnants of population III stars with masses exceeding 100 solar masses. Models for the formation of binary systems and their evolution into binary black holes are reviewed, and various restrictions on the range of their initial separations are discussed. The effects of an individual binary black hole system are studied, considering in turn the spectrum of gravitational radiation produced by systems whose initial separation is greater than, less than, or equal to the critical value. The spectrum of the background gravitational waves which may have been generated by a population of VMO binaries with a range of initial separations is calculated. Finally, the prospects that either the background or individual sources could be detectable with presently available techniques are examined.
