A Gruta de Maquiné e seus arredores : a parte sudoeste da planta dos arredores da gruta

Resumo

The author Presents a survey of the southwestern part of the region of Maquiné Cave, covering the Lagoinha sub-basin where there is a natural watering place for animals having source at the Lapinha do Atamis. The description is accompanied by chart and section drawings and by photos.

            Several sink holes are minutely described, such as Brejinho, Morcegos and that of Lapinha do Geraldo.

            He then describes the water-cheds from the Lagoinha sub-basin southwards, with his usual profuse documentary material.

            Next he considers the eastern part of Maquiné Cave with its Riachinho and Monjolos reconcavos and comes to the end of his detailed description of the important calcareous cave. The already wide-spread speleological interest in the cave is raised further through this curious paper which is essentially topographical and descriptive in character.
