A small stream sink without identified shape or dimensions located Peter, Hugh and Annie (Audsley, A U 2006.02.19 Mss: Parrot Sink) at no location where they noticed that this Parrot Sink takes at unknown times an unspecified stream (no name mentioned) which arrives with an unspecified streambed (without dimensions or orientation) from an unknown area to sink at an unspecified spot under unknown conditions into an unspecified sink (Audsley, A U 2006.02.19 Mss) or cave (Brooks, undated circa 2006.10.31 Mss amendment to Audsley, A U 2006.02.19 Mss: Parrot Sink) in unspecified rock. Brooks (undated circa 2006.10.31 Mss amendment to Audsley, A U 2006.02.19 Mss: Parrot Sink): Red Parrot Sink is better than Parrot Sink (Audsley, A U 2006.02.19 Mss) and explains that the (field name) Parrot Sink (Audsley, A U 2006.02.19 Mss) is indeed a made up name after bird seen near to cave (undated circa 2006.10.31 Mss amendment to Audsley, A U 2006.02.19 Mss: Parrot Sink). ETYMOLOGY: The English -a parot- is ka tuta in Khasi (SINGH, N 1920: 365) or u tuta (BLAH, E 2007: 215) and a -red parrot- would be a ka tuta saw (a red coloured parrot female) or u tuta saw (red coloured parrot male).SITUATION 1: Audsley (2006.02.19 Mss) places Parrot Sink at no location and without spatial relation to other caves in the area. SITUATION 2: Brooks (circa 2006.10.31 Mss, undated) was led to believe Red Parrot Sink would lie At above GPS point in [deleted: Kha] Khiadong area (note 1).PROSPECTS 1 (Audsley, A U 2006.02.19 Mss): Continues slightly award. Need to return. PROSPECTS 2 (Brooks, circa 2006.10.31 Mss, undated): Good. Continues slightly award.
