PRODUCTION OF CHANIEO IN SIND. 



296 



In the foregoing account of the Ohaniho-IiidnstTy of Sind, — a 

 somewhat cursive sketch, the result of rapid observations carried 

 out in a period of two months, — I have not thought it necessary 

 to discuss methods of recovery of trona, which must be left to the 

 ingenuity of whatever company cares to take up the proposition. 

 The report is far from being exhaustive, and future observers will 

 doubtless find much to add and something to correct. None of 

 the samples collected were average samples ; they were simply 

 specimens rapidly collected. The figures given, the analyses as 

 a whole, are therefore only approximations, and are bound to be 

 to a certain extent inaccurate. The sizes and depths of the dhanrh 

 are merely guessed.
