219 COTTER: SODA INDUSTRY OF STND. 



per annum on an average is secured. This dhand is 1 mile 

 east of Virchora and 2} miles south of Pir Nan^a. 

 (16) Tikini (marked Tur Teeknee on the map) is 2 miles W.S.W. 

 of Pharanwari. This is a small unimportant dhand, and 

 has always yielded only a very little chaniho. 



(16) Achro Bitiro (or, as in list, White Bitiro) is close to and 



E. of the dhand marked Achro Doobbo on the map. 

 While Achro Doobbo is brackish, the small dhand Achro 

 Bitiro close to it was completely dry and had yielded no 

 chaniho in 1918. Compare the case of dhamh Dosewari 

 and Khariri described above. 



(17) Paruwari (or Paroowali of list, marked Paroovvaree Tullee 



on map) is 2 miles S. of Tikini, and was completely dried 

 up with no yield of chaniho at the time of my visit. 



(18) Nanganwaro or Nanganwala is about 1 mile west of 



Paruwari. It also was dry and had no yiejd. 



(19) Chilhanwaro (or Chilh as in list) is \ mile S. of Nanganwaro 



and not quite half a mile N. of Mitheri. It is a small 

 oval-shaped dhand with very little water at the time of 

 my visit, but with great abundance of efflorescent salt 

 round its shore. An analysis of its chaniho will be found 

 in Chapter VI. Its usual yield is about 300 maunds 

 per annum. 



(20) Mithri (or Mitheri, marked Mithrejo Tur on map) is an 



oval dhand of very much the same size as Sukchaho, 



lying to the south of Chilhanwaro. It yields 2nd grade 



chaniho of which about G,000 maunds were stacked round 



the dhand, this representing the season's output. The 



dhand was almost dry, but had a few patches of water 



here and there. There was great abundance of efflorescent 



salt (kalar) round its shores. This efflorescence, caused by 



the evaporation of sim or percolating water round the 



shores of the dhand, is washed into the dhand during 



the rains, and from the bittern thus produced chaniho 



crystallises out in the hot season (May or June). The water 



of this dhand had a specific gravity of P2G5, and contained 



133-2 grams of Na 2 C0 3 per litre. 



(21) Galuwari (Culoo Wali of list: spelt Gulloowaree Tullee on 



map) is l\ miles S.S.W. of Mithri. It was completely dry 



and had produced no chaniho at the time of my visit.
