BOMBAY GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. I yyyiV
examining the Kunn and the Bhal, or low flat salt-land between the Null and
the Ghdf of Cambay, must perceive that the sea has but comparatively recently
withdrawn from it, and that formerly Kattyawar was an island. I consider that
a period of upheaval followed the period of depression, and that now another
period of depression has commenced. At the present day, in a heavy rainy
season a light canoe might be paddled from the Eunn of Kutch to the Gulf of
Cambay, or nearly so. My reasons for supposing that a period of upheaval fol
lowed that of depression are that while we see that the sea is yearly encroach
ing both in the Eunn and on the Southern coast of Kattywar, we yet see
that the extent of Eunn and Bhal that must have at one time been covered by
salt-water is very considerable, and probably at least three centuries will be re
quired at the present rate of depression to restore the Eunn to its pristine
condition of an inlet of the sea. The earthquake at the commencement of this
century, which formed the Lake Sindree had doubtless an important effect on
the Eunn, and the slight shocks experienced in late years have no doubt been
tending to the same object, viz. a general depression of level.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient Servant,
John W. Watson,
Political Assistant Kattyawar, in charge Eastern Division/
