# CUCC Expedition Handbook - Prospecting

#### Caves with non-CUCC numbers, or misnumbered by CUCC

Caves with the following numbers were not explored by CUCC, though those we have come across and can find again are recorded in the "known caves" table:
1-40, 42-60, 72-75, 77-79 | 'Austrian' caves.
41 | Austrian discovery pushed by a German group, but main exploration by CUCC, so included as "one of ours".
88 | a 'German' cave - except see below
116-130 | 'German' caves
131-134 | 'Austrian' caves, out near Wildensee
166-170 | not our numbers
202, 203, 206 | used for Arge finds
211 onwards | numbers not yet allocated (2000)

Cock Ups
88 | Numbered in red, but didn't go. Number reused by Austrians (for a significant cave explored by a German group). Allegedly this number was changed to 87A or 87B, but in fact this is not the case and this number needs to be removed.

106

This was a number which we were entitled to use, and which we applied to a significant find. However, the cave was written up in a non-CUCC publication which went to the Austrians, who allocated this cave their own number as a result. This makes a lot of CUCC documentation confusing, but the net result is that it is not our number anymore. We believe that the Austrians have not reused it, but there is no guarantee that they won't.

114 | This cave is completely missing! (found in 1980, but no record was published - the logbook is missing)
185 | Apart from 2 Year Gestation Höhle (on the col en route to 161a) which is correctly numbered 185, there were two other caves erroneously numbered "185", one of which is undocumented 90/15, which needs surveying and a real number. The other is really 186, whose marking was later fixed.
