''Note: National, provincial and district boundaries have changed considerably since 1908. Typically, old states, ‘divisions’ and districts have been broken into smaller units, and many tahsils upgraded to districts. Some units have since been renamed. Therefore, this article is being posted mainly for its historical value. ''

=Lakhi Hills=
(Laki). — An offshoot of the KIrthar range in the
Kotri tdhika of Karachi District, Sind, Bombay. The Lakhi is the
most easterly of a number of hill ranges in the western part of Sind,
extending between Baluchistan and the alluvial tract of the Indus, and
also between the desert of Shikarpur and Karachi. Length of range,
about 50 miles ; greatest elevation, 1,500 to 2,000 feet ; .situation
(centre) 26° N. and 67° 50' E., the latitude of the northern limit being
26° 20' and of the southern 25° 12', The hills are for the most part
of recent formation, containing marine remains in great quantities.
Huge fissures, apparently produced by earthquakes, traverse the range ;
and the frequent occurrence of hot springs and sulphurous exhalations
is a sign of volcanic action. Some parts, again, appear to be of more
ancient formation, as they yield lead, antimony, and copper. The
whole tract is wild and dreary. Near the town of Sehwan the Lakhi
range terminates abruptly on the Indus, in a nearly perpendicular face
of rock 600 feet high, which presents an imposing appearance from
the river.
