ated in a low field, where no such phenomenon is expected: the cave is about 100 feet deep, its length about 60 yards, and its breadth 30 ; it is of a lozenge shape, and divided into two parts by a rude and grotesque arch of limestone rock; at the south end, is an entrance down into this abyss, where the astonished visitant sees a cataract is- suing from a large aperture in the rock, about the dimensions of a church door, and falling 25 yards in an unbroken sheet, and with a deafening noise, the water disappears amongst the rocks and pebbles at the bottom, running about a mile by a subterraneous passage, when it again emerges: the cave is filled with the spray of the dashing water, which in the forenoon sometimes produces a small rainbow of unequalled brilliancy. One of the most surprising features of the scene, is a stone of enormous mag- nitude, suspended by its opposite an- gles touching the sides of a crevice, over the orifice whence the cataract issues. In the walls of the cave, which are covered with a black moss, are some curious excavations, and the margin is surrounded by trees and shrubs, which accord well with the gloomy grandeur of the scene. About a mile to the south, is Douk Cave, resembling Weathercoat on a smaller scale, its stream falling not more than 8 or 9 yards ; but the passage whence it issues can, by means of candles, be explored to some distance.
