"The south line
ends obliquely in the parabolically-curved wall that forms the exterior of the
cave on the left side, where one can see a hole of considerable size some way
above a wild fig tree. Bertacchi was not able to investigate this hole on
account of not having any ladders, but it was visited by members of our party
and Ferruccio Salvi has communicated the following description to me."
"'The entrance is to the right of the principal cavern around 12 metres above the level of its floor. It proved necessary to overcome this difference in height by means of a ladder, as the sloping wall containing the entrance is almost vertical and in consequence inaccessible without the ladder.'" |
