dhands are said to have yielded nearly 2,800 maunds of 

 chaniho in 1917-18. The analysis ' of a specimen of 

 chaniho from the large dhand is given in Chapter VI. 



(4) Dail.— This dhand is 2 miles west of Bagarwaro, and was 



dried up at the time of my visit. Owing to its having 

 remained dry. it had yielded no chaniho. In 1917-18 it 

 was said to have yielded about 2,900 maunds 



(5) Sukchaho, 1] miles S.S.W. of Bagarwaro and ■ mile west of 



the large brackish dhand Bitriwari, is one" of the largest 

 producing dhands of this section west of the Nara. It 

 is about 400 yards in length by 100 in breadth, the 

 depth being about 1 foot at the time of my visit. It 

 yields 2nd grade chaniho. In 1917-18 the amount 

 produced was 2,700 maunds. The bittern had a specific 

 gravity of 1-164 and contained 1115 grams of Na.,CO, 

 per litre. (In this and similar field analyses, the total 

 alkalinity is estimated as sodium carbonate.) Analyses 

 of its chaniho, and of its water are given in Chapter 



V JL. • 



(6) Chughari Chahewari, about 1 mile E.S.E. of Sukchaho 

 and lying between the two large brackish dhands of 

 Bitriwan and Dangi Chhuowari, is a very small dhand 

 about 80 by 40 yards, which had a very little water at 

 the time of my visit. The water contained 133 grams 

 of Na 2 CO ;J per litre. An analysis of this bittern will 

 be found in Chapter VI. 



(7) Chughari Kaiarwari, 1| miles S. by W. of the last-named 



dhand and about £ mile north of the large dhand Pir 

 Naga or Pir Nanga, is also a small dhand similar to 

 the last named, but was completely dry at the time of 



«n rr m} - ^2? ; - emJe neither Water nor trona could be collected 



(8) Tarai Pir Nanga is a small dhand or rather a southward 



extension of the large Pir Nanga dhand, and lies to the 

 immediate south of Pir Nanga. It was dry and had 

 yielded no trona at the time of my visit. The Pir Nanga 

 dhand itself is practically fresh-water with a specific 

 gravity of 1-002, and an alkalinity equivalent to only 

 1*2 grams of Na,C0 3 . y
