Remarks. 
This village lies ten miles north of Lodhran: 
there is an old mosque here and remains of the 
old town. BliTm is probably a mistake for 
‘ TaliTm: 5 the Tahlms being still found in all 
parts of the Multan district, but now chiefly in 
the south-west of the Kabirwala Tahsil. Tradi¬ 
tion however ascribes the foundation of this 
village to one Jalal Malitam and it is just 
possible that ‘ Bhim ’ here thus stands for 
* Mahtam,’ but in other instances (see below) it 
is almost certainly a misreading for ‘ Taliim.’ 
A well-known town in the Lodhran Tahsil. 
The tribe referred to is probably that of the 
Utheras, a common tribe in this Tahsil, though 
no longer owning land round Dunyapur. Possibly 
the cognate tribe of the Nuns is also included 
so that the names of the tribes would read: 
‘Uthera, Nun.’ 
Rajapur, some 3 miles north of Lodhran, is 
indicated; and by Junali is meant ‘Joyali,’ a 
very important tribe along the Satlaj. There 
are still Joyas in the village, though they ascribe 
their immigration to the last century. 
This is a village about 5 miles north of Mails!, 
found in the time of the Emperor Slier Shah and 
still showing ruins of its former prosperity. The 
Each! are certainly Khichi, a tribe of Rajputs 
still holding a good deal of land in the neighbour¬ 
hood. Junalis = Joyas (see above). Bikanah, (v. 
1. Bhanah, etc.), I cannot identify: the Wigamals 
and Sarganas, tribes of this Tahsil, suggest 
themselves. The Malah may refer merely to the 
boatman caste, but there are none of this tribe 
now in the neighbourhood of Sliergarh. 
A big brick-built village, afterwards the head 
of a pargana: and, according to tradition, founded 
by the Joyas. It lies about 9 miles south of 
Mails!. 
A municipal town, lying half way between 
Lodhran and Mails!. The Joyalis still hold a fair 
amount of land in this neighbourhood. 
Kliai, now a heap of ruined mounds, lies about 
15 miles north of Mails!: there are local tradi¬ 
tions as to its extreme prosperity in the days 
when it received canal irrigation from the Bias. 
It was called Khai-buldi from one Buld!, a 
Biloch, who is said to have founded it. The
