The considerable trans-Eavi portion has been removed, while agricultural conditions throughout the district have been revolutionized by the construction of the Lower Bari Doab Canal and the canals of the Sutlej Valley Project. The editors have retained such portions of the previous gazetteers as are still relevant, and for most of the historical material, description of the ancient tribes inhabiting the district, and an exhaustive discussion of the flora, the editors are indebted to Mr. Purser's classical Settlement Report of 1878. The editors have incorporated in the gazetteer extracts from Sir John Marshall's book on "Mohenjo-Daro and the Indus civilization." The Director of Land Records has arranged for the compilation of the maps at the end of this volume, and individual contributions have been acknowledged in the text. The greater part of this revision was carried out in 1933. The book also includes four color folding maps at the rear, adding to its value as a geographical resource.
