The sand-ridges (\*thal-ka-tiba\*) are very lofty in all this tract; very thinly inhabited; few villages; water far from the surface, and having considerable jungles. Tob, Phalsund, and Bimasar are the chief towns in this \*rui\*. They collect rain-water in reservoirs called \*tanka\*, which they are obliged to use sparingly, and often while a mass of corruption, producing that peculiar disease in the eyes called \*rataundha\* (corrupted by us to \*rotunda\*) or night-blindness,¹ for with the return of day it passes off. - [Previous: v3.c40.60](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tod-1829.v3.c40.60) - [Next: v3.c40.62](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tod-1829.v3.c40.62) - [Up: v3.c40](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tod-1829.v3.c40) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tod-1829.v3.c40.61](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tod-1829.v3.c40.61) · Pramāṇa
