CAVES AT SUNGEI BATU. 119 



It is strange that fossils could not be found anywhere. 

 Nothing but thousands of tons of bat's dung — itself a great for- 

 tune in guano. 



From the absence of fossils or shells it would appear that 

 the sea never reached any part of this hill 



There are seven different entrances to this hill, and a few 

 wild cattle, the '' Seladang," roaming about here; but 

 there are large herds of cattle at '* Batang Kali/' near Ulu 

 Selangor. Wild elephants are plentiful, and Durians, Pelasan, 

 Rambutan, Rambei. Mangostin and other large fruit trees grow 

 plentifully in the rich soil surrounding this limestone hill, in 

 the midst of the most luxurious jungle vegetation.
