plored without the necessity of retracing
I your steps. descending about forty feet
by the aid of a rope into q large pit from
the middle branch cave above mentioned,
you find yourself on the floor Of main
cave, which has total length OF over
100 feet by about 90 feet in width, and
It's rugged and PERCEPTIONS walls run up
TO height OF over one hundred feet
This cave Is remarkable for the mas
siyenes5 and not for the number Of its
stalactio formations. Tho immense fallen
black rocks piled ON each other ia ever
conceivable shape are here and there r.
lievod by massive buitrcsscs Of snowy
white and transparent dripstOnc. Some
Of these very much resemble frozen
waterfalls bursting through the rocks.

floor being thickly covered with a forma-
ton resembling small cOnical spikes
divided into portions at intervals by
knife like ridges, makes progress rather
a painful operation Some portions Of
the floor resemble miniature pine forests
and produce very pretty effect.
On emerging from this passage am
other large cave Is entered which is made
up Of large broken powders, piled upon
each other in every direction. The drip
stone formations are mostly dull and de
composed, the principal feature Of the
chamber being the enormous number of
bats lodging in it, which, on being dis
mrbed by the light, produce n sound
during flight as of a roaring wind. Pass
ing from this chamber through fisslre
