Description

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

What looked like about ten (10) or twenty (20) cave entrances in laterite (note 1) saw Thomas Matthalm (2007.07.11 personal communication) from a passing bus. Some of these cave entrances, which possibly have become accessible when cutting the road into the hill sides, seem to have been excavated by nature but others, perhaps, by man. SITUATION: South of Chauri (note 2) and in an area about 15 miles (24 km or, perhaps, 15 km) from Karwar (N14°48': E074°08' in Karnataka state, Uttar Kannada district) north along the road (possibly National Highway 17) towards Margao (N15°18': E073°57' in Goa).What looked like about ten (10) or twenty (20) cave entrances in laterite (note 1) saw Thomas Matthalm (2007.07.11 personal communication) from a passing bus.
