HE fourth Cave from the end is situated higher up in the cliff than the others at this end of the series, and as the path to it has broken away, it was so completely hid from below by the ledge in front of it, that I was not aware of its existence till I perceived it from the opposite side of the valley when leaving—too late to return. I have therefore no dimensions and no such intimate knowledge of it as would enable me to speak confidently either as to its age or any of its arrangements. This is the more to be regretted as, both from its dimensions as well as from the simple grandeur of its details, it looks as if it were one of the finest Viharas of the series.
