The former two of these caves are the largest underground caves in the world, as far as at present known; though the Mam. moth Caves take the cake so to speak, in mere actual size, yet they are not to be compared with the Jenolan Caves of Australia as regards the beauty of their internal stalactite formations, with their strange curiosities.. It is impossible, of course, to know the extent of the Borneo underground caves just mentioned, as we were the first Europeans to enter them, while our means of illumination and other equip. most were of the most primitive kind.
