Adlahu Chaho. It is completely dry and only Mar is 

 visible. An analysis of the hilar is given in Chapter 

 VI. Kino Chaho is about half a mile south of 

 Ashrafwaro. In former years it produced fairly pure 

 chaniho, an analysis of 1899 showing only 2 per cent, of 

 NaCl in the chaniho of this dhand. 



(20) Tarai Barko.— This is a small dhand to the immediate 



north of Barko. It was dried up, and no chaniho was 

 obtained from it. 



(21) Barko (marked on map as Bukarukhio jo Sim) is the 



largest producer of all the dhands, yielding from 10,000 

 to 11,000 maunds of first grade chaniho per year. From 

 1913 to 1915, it did not yield, presumably owing to 

 axcess of water. Barko is 2 miles S. by W. of Khara 

 Okar, and is an oval-shaped dhand, about 400 by 200 

 yards in size. It contains about 3 feet of water. All 

 round the dhand there is abundant hilar efflorescence. 

 A. specimen of the water had a specific gravity of 

 1-157, and contained 106-0 grams of Na 2 C0 3 per iitre. 

 An analysis of the chaniho and water is given in 

 Chapter VI. 



(22) Buxahu, | mile east of Barko, is named on the map Ram 



Rahoo jo Koomb. This name of Ram Rahu is now 

 forgotten, but a small dhand near Matahari is now called 

 Ram Rahu. Buxahu is a long narrow dhand, about 500 

 yards by 30 yards. It contains first grade chaniho, of 

 which an analysis is given in Chapter VI. The water 

 was about 1 foot deep. There was very little kalar 

 round its margin. 



(23) Saidahu, 2 miles south of Barko, was completely dry at 



the time of my visit, and yielded no chaniho. An 

 analysis of its kalar is given in Chapter VI. 

 (21) Charakhanwaro Wado, and (25) Charakhanwaro Nandho, 

 (or Charakhanwaro the large, and the small) are both 

 about 1 mile south of Saidahu. Both these dhands were 

 completely dry, and yielded no chaniho that season. An 

 analysis made in 1899 on a specimen of chaniho from 

 one of these dhands, shows only 2 per cent, of NaCl. 

 The analysis does not state from which dhand the chaniho 

 came.
