1919

In the preparation of the volume the compiler desires to acknowledge the assistance which he has received from the Collector of Karachi the Chairman of the Port Trust and the Commissioner's Uncovenanted Assistant Mr. [...] The point of the eastern prong touches the Indus which thence becomes the boundary of the Karachi District running south-east and south and separating it from the Hyderabad District as far as Jerruck (Jhirak) where it passes beyond the river being bc nded first by the Guth and Badin Talukas of the Hyderabad District then by the Rann of Cutch and the broad Khori creek. [...] 3 and rising in one peak to a height of of 6 878 feet above the sea forms the boundary of Sind from the extreme north-west point of the Upper Sind Frontier to the junction of the Larkana with the Karachi District after which point turning a little eastward it constitutes for more than 20 miles the boundary of the two and terminates near the Baran river at about 25° 43' north latitude. [...] The embankments of the Baghar and Kalri canals and most of the bunds on either side of the river were breached and the consequent floods destroyed the entire kharif crop. [...] Upon the whole the average is lowest in the region lying along the right bank of the Indus and highest on the coast but the difference is small.
