A relatively »small« or »little« rift (230°) leads to a bedding plane cave passage (2 m wide and 0.5 m high) on 020° (Tyler, A P & Chandler, I E 1998.03.01 Mss: Notebook). ETYMOLOGY: Andrew "Andy" Peter Tyler & Ian E. Chandler succeded to record on the very first March in the year 1998 the apparently Khasi cave name "krem pdieng sa lah" (Tyler & Chandler 1998.03.01 notebook), which, if taken as a "Krem Pdiang Sa Lah", seems to refer to a »Maybe Cave« (note 1). SITUATION: Unknown. Possibly somewhere or, perhaps, nowhere in the vicinity of Musianglamare (old church ±32 m 25°13'21”N: 92°21'26”E) and in an unspecified setting but at an unidentified location in the face of which neither Andrew "Andy" Peter Tyler (Bristol Exploration Club) nor Ian E Chandler (Croyden Caving Club) was able to figure out (1998.03.01 personal communication) if they had recorded the GPS position 25°13'02”N: 92°21'35”E or 25°12'02'N': 92°21'35”E (unidentified precision error, unspecified geodetic datum). CAVE POTENTIAL: Unknown but exploration would require crawling (Andrew "Andy" Peter Tyler & Chandler, Ian E. 1998.03.01 Mss: Notebook). CAVE CLIMATE: Andrew "Andy" Peter Tyler & Ian E. Chandler (1998.03.01 Mss: Notebook) had practised at an unknown time on 1st March 1998 applied aeromancy and subsequently recorded having observed a more or less »slight outward draught« which was interpreted as relatively »cold« air current.On the very same day, Andrew "Andy" Peter Tyler & Ian E. Chandler confirmed having noticed at an unknown time on 1st March 1998 an air current (1998.03.01 personal communication).
