25.500000,92.666700
Description
More or less »visible sink holes, caverns and solution channels in [the] Kopili, Umrong and Longlai-Longyan valleys« (DUTTA & THOMAS 1970: 1031) allow attaining the »Maximum length of such open channels [note 1] detected is 914 m (3000 ft.).« IDENTITY: The allegedly 914 m long and thus --quite suspicious-- exactly 3000 feet long »solution channel in Kopili reservoir area« (DUTTA & THOMAS 1970: 1031 photo 3) is not identified -- unless the number 914 is a mad version of 419 and thus, perhaps, the full survey length of –>AA Cave Kopili 400 m. ETYMOLOGY: No autochthonous, indigenous or locally known cave name has been identified for what was reported as a nameless »open channel« (DUTTA & THOMAS 1970: 1031). CAVE DESCRIPTION: A certain kind of »underground mapping of … solution channels have been done. Maximum length of such open channels detected is 914 metres« (DUTTA & THOMAS (1970: 1031).
NOTE 1: DUTTA & THOMAS (1970: 1031) refer expressively to »open channels« and it remains unknowable if they meant daylight-lit "ditches in the open air" (unroofed grikes) or dark cave passages accessible even to one or the other upright walking engineering geologist employed by the Government of India.
