Beyond these three galleries are irregularly dispersed at different heights several small caves more like the lairs of animals than human habitations, but all cut by the hand of man, and intended for hermits who crawled into them, and protected themselves from the inclemencies of the weather in a seated or inclining position, but without the means of stretching their length, or standing up. Architecturelly considered they are of no importance whatever.
