Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

An unspecified cave entrance (unidentified shape, unidentified dimensions, unidentified orientation, unidentified characteristics) is said to give access to Krem Um (a resurgence) (Anonymous 2012.03.10 Mss: Meghalaya 2012 Team 2 Diary, entry for Sunday 19th February 2012). ETYMOLOGY: No autochthonous, indigenous or locally known name has been identified -- if it exists -- for what people familiar with the area classified as a -krem um- (Khasi) or stream cave (English). The recorded place name Jylliang village (Anonymous 2012.03.10 Mss: Meghalaya 2012 Team 2 Diary) or -Shnong Jylliang- (Khasi) makes no sense (note 1). SITUATION: In an unknown setting (note 2) -- probably in the Umngi (Um Ngi) river basin -- and in an unidentified location (note 3), which was understood to lie at an estimated walking distance of just over an hour to the North East from a certain Jyllang Village (note 4) and not only somewhere above a possibly off-hand created tributary valley (The Remblang Area) -- whic flows in an unidentified direction to join an unidentified bank of an unidentified river -- but also in unidentified spatial relations to the other three known cave entrances in the same vicinity, namely Krem –>Blang a.k.a Remblang; Krem –>Dum, and Krem –>Um, Jylliang No. 2, the sink. POSITION: The GPS position near (allegedly ±10 m) N25°12'20.9”: E091°29'01.6”: 39 m asl (WGS84, unidentified recorder, undated 2012.02.19) recorded for the entrance to the so-called Krem Um Resurgence with a Garman 12 GPS (sic!) is 25 m from the cave [entrance] to the GPS Point on a bearing of 230 (Brooks, Simon J 2012.08.09 -Mawsynram GPS - Locations Part 1- personal correspondence). If I understand this properly, but I am not shure at all, a) the GPS position is 25 m on a bearing of 230° from the entrance to this cave b) and the cave entrance 25 m on a bearing of 050- from the GPS position c) the cave entrance lies 19.15 m north and 16.07 m east from the GPS position d) and near N25°12'21.5”: E01°29'02.2” (WGS84, modified after Brooks, S J 2012.08.09 -Mawsynram GPS - Locations Part 1- personal correspondence). flows in an unidentified direction to join an unidentified bank of an unidentified river -- but also in unidentified spatial relations to the other three known cave entrances in the same vicinity, namely Krem –>Blang a.k.a Remblang; Krem –>Dum, and Krem –>Um, Jylliang No. 2, the sink.
