 fiir eiii tektonisich wenig gestortes, flachgelagertes máchtiges 

 Kalkhocliland mit tief liegendem Griindwasserniveau im rei- 

 fen Stadium der Entwickelung angenommen werden muss. 

 Es ist das deriselbe Typus,*) welcher in Goenoeng Sewoe anf 

 Jáva in ebenso typischer Entwickelung vorkommt und wel-

 auf weiten Strecken entwickelt ist.**)

**) Die Charakteristik der »Cockpit Conntry« wird im Be- 

 riehte von J. G. Hawkins folgendcrweise winderg-egebeii: Perhaps 

 no country in the world presents a more rug-ged oř uneven sur- 

 íace thau those portions of this and the adjoining parislies, cal- 

 led Cockpits, wbieh in forni resemble inverted cones, the rims 

 of these pits usually present a series of pointed hills with steep 

 precipitous sides oř perpendicular esearpments, and when it iš 

 considered that the beds of limestone are broken up into blocks 

 of one to twelve feet in diameter, eovering- the surface in the 

 most eonfused nianner, a conception may be formed of the great 

 difficulty of access, and perfect impracticability for beasts of 

 burthen to travel until the band of man has equalized the sur- 

 face; eousequently much of this part of the island remains a terra 

 incognita, it is described by the Government land surveyors as 

 »Government land composed of rocky mountains, precipices and 

 cockpits, interspersed with narrow rocky glades.« (S. 238.) 



und auf einer anderen Stelle: 



The most extraordinary peculiarity consist in the numer dus 

 and deep depressions which occur in the white limestone, called 

 by the natives »Cocpits«; they present the appearance of an in- 

 verted cone or tea cup of 100 to 500 feet deep, covered on every 

 side by fragmentary limestone of all sizes, weathered or worn into 

 every possible shape imag-inable, and the edg-es or rim of these 

 pits when extended on a map present a series of lineš like net 

 work or the edg-es of a cellular tissue. Now it is a matter of con- 

 sideration how these cavities were produced, and the only hypo- 

 thesis adopted by us attributes them to unequal denudation, sup- 

 posing the surface was irregular when elevated above the sea, 

 and, like all limestone formations, full of cavities, faults, and
