THE KHAIRPUR STATE, KOT JUBO REGION. 240 



dhands and Kharowaro are to be regarded as isolated 

 pools of Chandroi, and are only separated from the 

 large dhand by very narrow bars. 



The 27 dhands given above complete the list of dhands from 

 which chaniho has been obtained, and which lie between the dra-ins 

 of Pur Chandar and Sano-i. 



Owing to the limited time at my disposal, none of the dhands 



on the outer margins of the dra-ms were 



Dhands on the outer v j s j te a w j tn the exception of the four Sanoi 



margins of the ura-tns. r . 



dhands, which were visited by Mr. Thurley. 

 Since none of the outlying dhands, with the exception of Abdul 

 Rahim had yielded any trona in the year of my visit, it did not 

 appear necessary to do more than examine the water of the more 

 important ones. Mr. Mahommed Khan, however, procured speci- 

 mens of the bitterns for me, and thus saved me from the necessity 

 of collecting them myself. 



I shall consider the dhands on the outer margins of the Sanoi 

 dra-in y beginning with the most southerly. 



(28) Kharro, mentioned in both lists, yielded chaniho containing 



only 1 per cent.' of NaCl in 1899, but had excessive water 

 in the season of my visit. Kharro is marked on the map 

 as Khure jo Tith, and is 12| miles E.S.E. of Fakhyaro. 

 It is about 2 acres in extent, and has about 2 feet of 

 water. The specific gravity was 1-069, and the quantities 

 of salts present were Na 2 C0 3 — 53-8 grams per litre, 

 NaCl — 19-3 grams per litre. 



(29) Jhando-i Wadi, and (30) Jhando-i Nandhi. Mr. Mahommed 



Khan knew of the existence of only one dhand named 

 Jhandoi, presumably Jhandoi Wadi, the other having 

 possibly become dry within the past twenty years. This 

 Jhandoi is mentioned in both lists. It had excessive 

 water in 1918 and produced no chaniho. It is reported 

 to be a small dhand 30 by 30 yards with about 2 feet 

 of water. It lies 8£ miles due east of Gapnum or Gubno 

 and is marked on the map as Jundoce-waro Koothee. 

 The water has a specific gravity of 1*090, and contains 

 00-8 grams of Na 2 C0 3 and 29-6 grams of NaCl per 

 litre.
