237 COTTER: SODA INDUSTRY OF SIND. 



NaCl per litre present. An analysis of the chaniho of 

 the north dhand is given in Chapter VI. 



(5) Laiwari is about 1} miles N.N. E. ofPakhyaro, and is a long 



narrow dhand, about B furlongs in length. It is not 

 mentioned as a producer in the old list of 1899, and 

 evidently had then too much water. At the time of my 

 visit there were from 3 to 4 feet of water, and although 

 there is abundant sodium carbonate in the lake, only 

 aboxit 100 marinds were extracted. The water had a 

 specific gravity of 1*115, and contained 100-3 grams of 

 Na 2 C0 3 and 21*9 grams of NaCl per litre. .On the 

 Survey of India map this dhand is wrongly named 

 Guddarwarce. 



(6) Pharanwaro, mentioned in the list of 1899, but not in 



that of 1918, is a very tiny dhand, about 30 by G yards 

 and is situated immediately north of the now dried up 

 depression marked on the map of 1860 as Leware je 

 Dhund. About 50 maunds of third grade chaniho were 

 obtained in season 1918-19. 



(7) Kalbuwaro is so named in the list of 1899, but in that 



of 1918 there is a dhand named Phuloowala, which, 

 according to Mr. Mohammed Khan, is a corruption of 

 the true name Kalbuwaro. It is marked on the Survey 

 map, but not named, and is the dhand lying immediately 

 west of that marked as Savaree je Dhund. The dhand 

 is now a small one, about 100 by 30 yards, and yielded no 

 chaniho owing to excess of water in season 19] 8-19. In 

 the preceding year, it yielded about 300 maunds of 

 third grade chaniho. 



(8) Gapnum is the dhand marked as Gubno jo Dhund in the 



Survey ma]). It is mentioned among the producing 

 dhands in the old list of 1899, but not in that of 1918. It 

 is a small dhand, but has excess of water, and does not 

 yield chaniho. 



(9) Ahirowaro, also mentioned in the list of 1899, but not in 



that of 1918, appears to be the dhand marked Jhungun- 

 waro Dhund on the map. I could not reconcile the map 

 in this portion with the actual country. North-east of 

 the dhund marked as Savaree je Dhund, there is a dhand
