Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

A second modified natural rift cave (with man-made hand- and foot-holds) above a rhéocène (?) spring (note 1), is about 12 m high and leads to a horizontal fissure of unknown length or, if you prefer, several metres (note 2). SITUATION: Near Grotte des Cchehel Dokhteran 1 but a little bit higher up, and at a distance of about 7 or 8 km (along the road?) in an unspecified direction from Qadis (note 3) and in the (northern?) flank of a hill called Montagne des Quarante Fils (LINDBERG, K 1961a: 16).A second modified natural rift cave (with man-made hand- and foot-holds) above a rhéocène (?) spring (note 1), is about 12 m high and leads to a horizontal fissure of unknown length or, if you prefer, several metres (note 2).
