Khānkāni.—November 1.—Khankani, on the north bank of the Luni. There was nothing to arrest attention between Pali and the Luni : all is flat and lonely in the thirty miles which intervene. Our halts were at Kairla, which has two small salt lakes, whence its name ; in fact, this superabundant product, *khar*, or salt, gives its name to streams and towns. Both Kairla and Rohat, the intermediate places of halt, are feudal estates, and both chiefs had been involved in the recent civil dissensions : Rohat was under the ban.
