227 COTTER: SODA INDUSTRY OF S1ND. 



(26) Hazari is marked on the map as Huzarec jo Chhuo. There 



are here two ((hands, one a large dhand of sweet water, 



and a small dhand to the north in which chaniho 



accumulates. The large fresh water dhand had water, 



but the small dhand, from which chaniho has been 



obtained in former years was completely dry. 



Of the twenty-six dhands in the above list, twelve only produced 



chaniho, vie., Taraiwari, Metahari, Lalri Sanhri, Lalri Lambrewari and 



Lain Wadi, Khariri Mojanwari, Lambro, (lanjawari, Khabbarwaro, 



Kakaranwaro, Barko, and Buxahu. Three dhands had excessive 



water, viz., Jatuwari, Matiwaro, and Khara Okar. Eleven dhands 



were dry, viz., Mirwari, Bartako, Ubrand Dabranwaii. Drigwari, 



Ashrafwaro, Kino Chaho. Tarai Barko, Saidahu, Charakhanwaro 



Wado and Nandho, and Hazari. Three of the producing dhands, 



viz., Khariri Mojanwari, Lambro, and Kakaranwaro are closely 



connected with larger dhands or deeper extensions of the same name 



which do not, owing to excess of water, yield chaniho. 



Of these dhands by far the best producer is Barko ; next in 

 order of merit is Lambro, next CJanjawari ; these three are superior 

 to any dhands west of the Nara. Lalri Wadi, .Metahari, Khabbar- 

 waro, and Buxahu are medium producers, ranking with Bulahwari, 

 Sukchaho and Bagarwaro west of the Nara. Taraiwari, Khariri 

 Mojanwari, Lalri Lambrewari and Sanhri, and Kakaranwaro are 

 small producers of much less importance. The production however 

 varies from year to year according to the rainfall. 



Of the larger dhands, which owing to depth and size, have never 



Largo alkaline dhand, ^^ ***** the *** northerly dhand 

 oast of Nara. examined is— 



(1) Khariri Mojanwari, main dhand, already described. 



(2) Sarwari (marked Sarwaree Sim on map) is lj miles S.W. 



of Khariri Mojanwari. Sarwari is an oval-shaped dhand, 

 about 3 furlongs in length, with 4 or 5 feet of water. 

 The water has a specific gravity of 1-049, and contains 

 34-3 grams of Na 2 C0 3 per litre. 



(3) Moqamwari (marked Mookamwaree Sim) lies a furlong to 



the east of Sarwari, and is about the same length 

 although perhaps a trifle narrower. The depth of both 

 dhands appears to be about the same. The specific
