253 COTTER : SODA INDUSTRY OF SIND. 



specific gravity of 1*110, and contained 79-5 grams of 

 Na 2 C0 3 . 73-5 grams of NaHCO, 37-5 grams of NaCl, 

 and a trace of Na 2 SO r pel litre. An analysis of the 

 chaniho, which appears to be fairly pure, is given in 

 Chapter VI. 



(19) Sanhri (near the Simlmree Bhit of the 18G0 map) is 



reported to be 1^- acres in extent, and to have a depth 

 of 1 foot. The water had a sp. gr. of 1-019, and contained 

 14-9 grams of Na 2 C0 3 , 28-2 grams of NaCl, and 14-6 

 grams of Na 2 SO t per litre. 



(20) Chugheri, a small dry dhand, \- miles south of Wasuwari, 



which see. No yield i n 1 918. 



(21) Wasuwari, also dry, is east of Wasoowaree Bhit as marked 



in the map. 



(22) Manakwari is about half a mile S.E. of Bolahi and south of 



Akanwari. It covers about 2 acres and has a depth of 

 about 3 feet. It is slightly brackish having a sp. gr. 

 of 1-016, and containing 7*5 grams of Na 2 C0 3 , 4*7 grams of 

 NaCl, and 3-6 grams of Na 2 S0 4 per litre. No chaniho 

 has been obtained within the last two years. 



(23) Soro, dry, lies south of and close to Jaganwari (see ante). 

 (21) Gunjo, dry. lies S.E. of and close to Jaganwari. 



(25) Kilanwari, identical with Guree Sim of the map, and cast 



of Jaganwari, was dry with only one small heap of 

 chaniho and some kalar visible, but chaniho is said to be 

 obtained in the rains. 



(26) Gidharwari is half way between Kilanwari and Phog- 



wari, and is close to Goonja jo Sim. It was dry. 



(27) Gundwari, N.E. of Phogwari and Gulabwari, is near the 



Goondawaree Bhit of the 1860 map. It was dry. 



The Kurunda dhands, viz., Kurunda Wado, marked on the map 

 as Wuddo Jorindawaree, and Kurunda Nandho, marked Jorinda- 

 waree Simm, are fresh w^ater. The C0 2 estimated as Na 2 C0 3 amounts 

 to only 1-2 grams per litre, while the NaCl present is less than 0T) 

 grams. The water of Gunja, marked Goonja jo Simm is also fresh. 

 The desiccation and gradual deterioration of the Nasrat taluqa 

 deposits is apparent when we compare the stat * of the dhands 

 in 1903, shortly after the opening the Janirao Canal with their state 

 in 1918.
