Gazetteer of the Province of Sind Hyderabad District

1920

It is bounded on the north by the Nawashah District on the east by the Nawabshah and the Thar and Parkar Districts on the south by the Rann of Cutch and on the west by the River Indus and the Karachi District. [...] The exception alluded to above is the Bhaibunds or Sind Workis who in the pursuit of business have extended their operations to the Mediteranean Africa the rar East and Japan and America and in fact may be found at most of the ports of the world. [...] With the exception of the isolated patch of lime stone near Hyderabad the whole of the district is of alluvial formation and the constituents of the soil present little variation. [...] For a short distance from the foot of the hills the soil contains a large admixture of detritus but elsewhere clay and sand are its principal ingredients and one of the two factors by which the composition of the various soils is differentiated is the extent to which the clay or the sand predominates. [...] In the case of the river and of dhands filled by the inundation the Revenue Department sells the right and receives the proceeds.
