Mahals. Castes. Remarks. 
tribe referred to may be ‘ Jat Mitru,’ the Hitrii 
Jats being tbe chief tribe now in that neighbour¬ 
hood but the traditional date of the Mitru immig¬ 
ration is after Akbar’s time. Or the doubtful 
name may be read ‘ Sauru,’ the Saurus being 
a tribe in possession of land in the neighbour¬ 
hood. 
Gkalii Kliarah Kalu, Jat ... This refers doubtless to the tract near the 
present junction of the Cinab and the Gharali 
(as the lower Satlaj is locally called), which is 
inhabited, mainly, by the Ghallu tribe of Jats 
and its off shoots. The malial would thus be 
‘ Ghallu Gliarah,’ and the tribe * Ghallu Jat.* 
Similarly as regards the Bari Duab:—

I have been told by a peasant that Islam¬ 
pur was the old name for Gardezpur in the 
Shuja’abad Tahsil; but the Marrals have left no 
traces of their power so far south and I expect 
the Islampur is near Kasba (in the south of the 
Multan Tahsil) which is the present headquarters 
of the Marral tribe. The Islampur ‘ topa ’ is 
still spoken of as a measure of capacity in the 
Shuja'abad Tahsil. 
Site unknown. I have been told verbally how¬ 
ever that this place lay near Kotll Nijabat, some 
12 miles east of Shuja'abad: and this is not 
unlikely. 
The vernac. is ‘ Bulda Multan ’ and this term is 
applied in all Imperial sanads, etc., to the tract 
round the city (chiefly to the north and east) 
not to the city itself. The Sliaiklizadas are the 
Quraishls who held charge of the famous shrines 
of Balia-ul-Haqq and Eukn-i-‘Alam. 
This is Tulambah on the Ravi in the Kablr- 
wala Tahsil and the tribe referred to is that of

trict of Multan 
Villages of the 
parganah of 
Khatpur 
the ‘ Sahus,’ still very prevalent in those parts. 
Caukhandl itself was in the Ricnau Duab 
(see below). 
The vernac. is ‘Havel! Sliakr.’ The Havel! 
parganah of Imperial times seems to have stretch¬ 
ed along the Cinab river north of Multan, and 
this is now the chief habitat of the Tahlm tribe 
in the district. 
Khatpur was in the Ricnau Duab (seejbelow).
