reservoirs ; so hot that persons cannot bathe in the first re- 

 servoir.— Le Grand Jacob, Bombay Geogr. Soc, Vol.

 25 Jalandar ... Lat. 23° 19'; Long. 71° 39' ; Elev. abt. 100 ; Temp. 



In the Little Rann, near Jhinjhuwara, Top. Surv. of Ratty - 

 war. 



Passing here to the westward, we find in Kutch — 



26. Mhurr ... Lat. 23° 20'; Long. 69° 00'; Elev. ; Temp. 



The spring is south of the dhurmsala, and 'on the line of 

 the fault which runs along the northern base of the 

 Mhurr hill.' ' Water warmish, saline.' Close by are 

 several wells of pure sweet water, the nearest being only 

 about nine paces from the warm spring. The water from 

 this latter is used largely in the alum works in the vicinity. 

 — A. B. Wynne, G. S. I. The spring is built round and 

 forms a bathing tank ; water probably much hotter at its 

 source than in the tank ; bubbles occasionally emitted.— 

 F. Fedolen, G. S. I. 



"We now come to a remarkable and well-defined group of thermal 

 spring-s in Lower Scind. It is much to be regretted that our knowledge 

 of many of these is so imperfect that we can say no more than that the 

 spring exists. 



27. Manga-pir ... Lat. 24° 59' ; Long. 67° 06'; Elev. abt. 60; Temp. 127°. 



There are three springs, whose temperatures are respect- 

 ively 127°, 119°, and 99°. The last feeds the Alligator 

 Tank. The water has a slight sulphureous smell, and 

 leaves a blackish deposit on the stones in the vicinity. The 

 above temperatures are the mean of several observations. 

 The name is given as Peer Man gal, Magaoi- Mangear. 

 — Baker and Maclagan, Jour. Asiat. Soc, Bengal, XVII, 

 pt. ii, 230 (1848). Carless gives the temperature 133°.— 

 Proc. Bomb. Geogr. Soc, II, February 1839, page 14. 

 Schlagintiveit calls it Maggar-pir, and records a temper- 

 ature of 10P°'2. Giraud gives the following names and 

 temperatures for the springs (1854) : Hajee Mouza 130°, 

 Hajee Mouga 100°, and Lalshabag 107°. This is the 

 Manga-peer of Vicary, who says, two springs are in 

 a basin enclosed by hills, excepting to the north-west
