Description

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

An unspecified cave entrance (unidentified shape, unidentified dimensions, unidentified orientation, unidentified characteristics) is said to give access to a choked sink down to an estimated -15 m into a boulder chamber and the beginning of no discernible way on (Boycott 2002.02.19 Mss: Krem Tihum) leading to unknown continuations. ETYMOLOGY: Boycott (2002.02.19 Mss) recorded -Krem Tihum- as if it where a cave name but this could be a communication error resulting from a Khasi explanation describing a finger or hand pointing down into the entrance (note 1).
