S. B., XVIT, i, 285. Schlagintweit's (No. 85) elevatiou 

 is given as 1,602 feet. If this be correct, there must be 

 two distinct springs in the same neighbourhood. 



,. Lat. 32° 07'; Long. 76° 46'; Elev. abt. 7,000 ; Temp. 120°. 

 On the Lum, a tributary stream of the Birmi, which runs 

 past Baijnath, north from Dewal, 3 miles beyond 

 Bhand (Bhurrer Khoord of the Atlas of India). Water 

 rises in various places among masses of blocks, which are 

 of a gneissoid rock, with great felspathic masses in it. 

 These blocks are profusely scattered over the glen, but I 

 could not see whether this was the rock in situ at the 

 springs, or a schistose rock which occurs a little further 

 down. The Lum gets its name (Bon-salt) from a small 

 spring which rises under the water in the stream. A slight 

 metallic scum appears on the surface, and there is some 

 ferruginous deposit on the stones, &c. Taste is most 

 nauseous, and exceedingly adhesive; chiefly bitter, with a 

 kind of metallic flavour. — Dr. C. J. Stewart, MSS. corr.

Spring is near the village of Bhasra, and the source of the 

 Lohand Khad, a stream flowing into the Sutlej from 

 below the ridges on which the fort of Chamba is situated. 

 Water is strongly saline in taste, and slightly aperient in 

 action. Water is said to be very efficacious in cases of 

 goitre, dropsy, and rheumatism. — Wade, J. A. S. B.» 

 VI, 153. This is quoted under the name of Lahand 

 Khad by Dr. Macpherson. — SchlaginUoeit's Bhatha, 

 No. 13. 



, Lat. 31° I4 ( 30". Long. 77° 11' ; Elev. 2,000 ; Temp. 135°. 

 On the right bank of the Sutlej, opposite to the village of 

 Suni. There are eight or ten springs at 2 or 3 feet from 

 the stream. Strong sulphureous smell, and very disagree- 

 able saltish taste ; encrusts stones with a yellowish sub- 

 stance, probably sulphur. — Gerard, Kunawur, &c, 142. 

 Contains common salt with a little alkaline sulphate.
