==Biloch tribes of Muzaffargarh==

In Muzaffargarh more perhaps
than in any other district the Biloch is intermingled with the Jat population,
and the tribal name merely denotes common descent, its common owners

It is possible that some Bilochies may have returned themaelves as Rind orLashari with refer
ence to their original stock rather than to their present tribe ; and that aome of the Lashari clans
of the Gurchani tribe may have been included in the Lashari tribe.
See note to the preceding paragraph.possess no sort of tribal coherence. The reason doubtless is that since the
Biloch immigration the district has formed the borderland between the Lodi
of Sitpur, the Daudpotra of Bahawalpnr, the Mihrani of Derah Ghazi, and the
Langah of Multan. The Gopang, the Chandia, the Rind, the Jatoi, and the
Korai are the tribes most numerously represented. Then came the Laghari,
the Lashari, the Hot, the Gurmani, the Petafi, the Mashori, and the Sahrani,
of which the last two are hardly found elsewhere.

==The Biloch tribes of the Lower Indus and Satluj==

A very consider
able number of Biloches are scattered along the lower Indus and Satluj in
Bahawalpur and Multan, and especially in the former. The most important
are the Rind,the Korai, the Gopang, the Jatoi, the Lashari,' and the

Hot, while less numerous bat still important are the Chundia, the Khosa,
and the Dasti.

==The Biloch tribes of the Ravi, upper Jahlam, and Chanab==
The
Biloches of the Ravi are chiefly found in the bar of the Montgomery and
Jhang districts, where they occupy themselves in camel-breeding, holding
but little land as cultivators. They consist almost wholly of Jatoi and
Rind, which latter tribe has penetrated in some numbers as high up as
Lahore. They are probably descendants of the men who under Mir Chakar
accompanied Humayun and received a grant of land in Montgomery in
return for their services. In the Jhang and Shahpur districts, on the Jahlam
and the right bank of the Chanab, the principal tribes to be found are the
Rind, the Jatoi, the Lashari, and the Korai.
