 A BOORGAREE. (297)

HE Boorgarees are a minor tribe of Belocliees, connected with the late ruling family, the Talpoors. They have no especial location or possession in Sind, and are found in many parts of the province. A few enjoy rent-free jahgeers, or estates, in the Hyderabad district, conferred upon them by the Talpoors, which have been confirmed by the British Government, and by these they are supported. The figure represented is remarkable for the large size of his kumur-bund or waistband, composed of shawls rolled round him in a peculiar manner, common to his people. Otherwise his dress is very plain for a Beloch.
