33 The outttrn of 1892-93 may be left out of the comnarison,
34 as, owing to the flooded state of the lake and the showery wea-
35 ther that prevailed almost throughout the year, nothing could’
36 be done. But compared with the two years preceding 1892: 93,
37 it is evident that good work was accomplished in the year now .
38 under report. Pans on the lake edge, in which salt is first
39 produced after the rains and out of which crops are obtained
40 in rapid succession (the salt being somewhat small, though very
41 clean and pure), yielded maunds 19 ,03,156 against about half
42 that quantity in 1890-91 and 1891- 92’. sand the permanent wall-
43 ed enclosures or kyars, in which the best kind of salt is made,
44 yielded a very fair crop, which by the end of June 1894 (or at
45 the time this report is being written) has exceeded the outturn
46 of each of the two years previous to 1892-93. The extraction
47 , of the spontaneously deposited salt in the lake bed, which forms
48 "beyond or outside of the pans and kyars, had only begun in
49 1893-94 just as the year was ending owing to. the unenclosed
50 brine in the lake not having up to that time reached a’ sufficient
51 degree of density. But in April, May and June 1894 the
52 extraction of this kind of salt was very active, and the yield,
53 though not equalling that of 1890-91, much exceeded that of
54 1891-92. On the subject of the year’s jmanufacture, the Assist-
55 ant-Commissioner of the Division writes :—“ The year’s manu-
56 facture depends almost wholly on the rainfall. When the rainfall .
57 is very heavy, as it was in 1892-93, when 40°81 inchés were
58 registered, salt formed very late in the season. During 1892-93
59 manufacture only commenced in February, and during that
60 month and in March only 90,666 maunds were extracted. For
61 the year under report maunds 4,16,898 were éxtracted in April,
62 nearly allfrom the kyars or walled enclosures. The extrac:
63 tion was increaséd to maunds 7,84,734 in May and maunds
64 6,29,626 in June, though both these months were unusually
65 rainy, as will be seen from the rainfall statement, In J uly the
