A cave entrance (8 m + 1 m) gives access to a cave passage that narrows down and leads to choke at 10 m in (Boycott 2002.02.11 Mss: Krem [deleted: Whlba Wilbah Walbah] Wahlaba). ETYMOLOGY: No specific cave name has been identified for what has been circumscribed as one Krem Wah Lawbah, which translates either as Cave [on a] Stream [in a] Dense Forest or as Cave [on a] Stream [of a] Tiger (note 1). SITUATION: In an unspecified location somewhere in a comparatively extensive karst area with numerous large grykes, the cave entrance to the Dense Forest Cave lies at north-east side of a new road on edge of Mustoh village (note 2) and exactly in a relatively large gryke (Boycott 2002.02.11 Mss). CAVE LIFE: Relatively large Heteropodes, millipedes, audible hum from concentration of mosquitos at the end (Boycott 2002.02.11 Mss). Keywords: Arachnida: Aranea: Sparassidae: conf. Heteropoda sp.; conf. Diptera.A cave entrance (8 m + 1 m) gives access to a cave passage that narrows down and leads to choke at 10 m in (Boycott 2002.02.11 Mss: Krem [deleted: Whlba Wilbah Walbah] Wahlaba).
