Nahur dhand, 1 mile easl of Lanari, is dry. 

 Banahu or Bambahu, N'.lv of Nahur, is also dry. 

 Patehal (Putehul) dhand, \ mile S.E. of Nahur, has water, 

 although much shrunk from its former size. The water 

 had a sp. gr. of L-06 bui contained less than 0*25 grams 

 of- Na 2 C0 3 per litre, 

 One mile east of Banahu. the large dhand marked as Purai 

 (Pooraee jee) has shrunk, so thai the western portion is dry, 

 while the eastern part is now two small dhands separated by dry 

 land. That to the north is called Purai dhand, and that to the 

 south is Bakhvoro. 



Purai dhand is now about 250 by 80 yards, and has a specific 



gravity of 1 '039 but contains less than 0*25 grams of 



Na 2 CO 3 per litre. Bakhvoro dhand, which is a little 



larger than Purai, has a sp. gr. of 1-010 and contains 



about 0-75 grams of Na a C0 3 per litre. 



Bodlo (Bodulwaree), \ mile N.E. of Purai village, is dry. This

South of Bakhvoro, and about 1 mile distant there is a lone 



narrow dhand of sweet water. 



Kari Vari is a name of one of the Sanghar dhands worked
