Western Sind is bounded on the east by the Indus on the west partly by the lofty range of hills called the Khirthar and partly by the river Hab which falls into the Arabian Sea 'northwest of Cape Monze and on the north by the Bahawalpur State. [...] The richest soil in the District is that of the northern part which has the combined advantage of the waters of the Indus as well as of the Western Nara and the Ghar canals. [...] The part of Karachi that falls in Western Sind is watered by the Indus the Hab coming from the Baluchistan hills the Baran and the Malir and a number of other hill-streams the most important of which is the Sann. [...] The major part of Nawabshah and the whole of Hyderabad consists however of the alluvial plain of the Indus. [...] The bottom levels of the walls of the second stratum range between 12' and 18' from the top of the mound.
