¹ The ruins of Valabhī at Walā, 18 or 20 miles north-west of Bhāonagar, are mostly underground. The history is given by Burgess in *A. S. W. I.*, vol. ii, (1876), pp. 80–6, though his account is partly obsolete; and by Bhagwān Lal Indraji and Jackson in *Bomb. Gaz.* (1896), vol. i, part i, pp. 78–106. The latest dynastic list is that in Kielhorn's 'Supplement to List of Northern Inscriptions', App. B, p. 11 (*Ep. Ind.*, vol. viii, April, 1905). For approximate date of destruction of Valabhī as a capital see Burgess, *A. S. W. I.*, vol. vi, p. 3; vol. ix, p. 4. But certain traditions assert that the city was destroyed by Gūjars from Sind (*J. A. S. B.*, part i, vol. lv (1886), p. 181). Valabhī even now exists as a country town (*Bomb. Gaz., ut supra*, p. 95, note 1).
