A reputedly existing (note 1) but apparently elusive cave (note 2), which once had been reported (Kharpran Daly 2009.09.11 Mss) but then turned out to be a rumour only (Ludwig 2010.06.21 Mss: Re: ML 2010: Krem Rida).SITUATION: In case this cave does exist, it can be expected to be found somewhere on the property of Mrs. Ridolis Marbaniang (Kharpran Daly 2009.09.11 Mss) or Mrs. Ridalis Marbaniang (Kharpran Daly, Brian D 2010.02.02 Meghalaya Cave Record: Krem Rida 02-02-2010) which lies either at Phodpyndiang (Kharpran Daly 2009.09.11 Mss) or on a stream called Phud Pyndiang (note 3), which possibly is the tributary that is shown (without name) on the Survey of India sheet 78-O/11 (edition 1974) to join near N25°17'50”: E091°33'00” (WGS84) the east (orographically left) bank of the Umngi (Um Ngi).A reputedly existing (note 1) but apparently elusive cave (note 2), which once had been reported (Kharpran Daly 2009.09.11 Mss) but then turned out to be a rumour only (Ludwig 2010.06.21 Mss: Re: ML 2010: Krem Rida).SITUATION: In case this cave does exist, it can be expected to be found somewhere on the property of Mrs. Ridolis Marbaniang (Kharpran Daly 2009.09.11 Mss) or Mrs. Ridalis Marbaniang (Kharpran Daly, Brian D 2010.02.02 Meghalaya Cave Record: Krem Rida 02-02-2010) which lies either at Phodpyndiang (Kharpran Daly 2009.09.11 Mss) or on a stream called Phud Pyndiang (note 3), which possibly is the tributary that is shown (without name) on the Survey of India sheet 78-O/11 (edition 1974) to join near N25°17'50”: E091°33'00” (WGS84) the east (orographically left) bank of the Umngi (Um Ngi).
