A plumbago (graphite) mine in the area (compare: Tenehena, Wijiriya mine) north of Kolonne (N06°24': E080°41') is called Ereporuwa (Eckrich 1984, pers. comm.), apparently only a few metres long, and lies behind the colourful house, which is owned by Mr. K. Piyadasa in the scattered village of Nilmini (unidentified) or so. CAVE LIFE: Eckrich, Michael (1984 personal communication) had surveyed bats here (Chiroptera).
