BARNALA 23 Raja Bahada, and to have been called after him Bahadamer (the nmerit or 'hill-fort' of Bahada), since contracted to Barmer. It is substantially built on the side of a rocky hill, on the summit of which are the remains of an old fort; and it possesses a post and telegraph office, a vernacular school, and a hospital. Millstones constructed here are largely exported, and fuller's earth (used as a hair-wash) is found at Kapuri and other places in the neighbourhood. Barmer is also the name of one of the principal estates in Mallani, consisting of sixty-six villages held by five different families, who pay between them a tribute of about Rs. ,000o to the Darbar. Barnadi-A river of Assam which rises in the Himalayas and enters the valley of the Brahmaputra at 26° 13′ N. and 91° 48′ E. From this point it once formed the boundary between the Districts of Kamrlup and Darrang, but the river has so often changed its channel that its present course is no longer recognized as the boundary. Near the hills the Barnadi flows through forest and grass jungle, but farther south vil- lages appear on the banks. The most important places are Sonarikhal, where two small fairs are held, and Magamuri market in the Tamulpur tahsil, which is situated about 4 miles from the Barnadi, but is a con- siderable centre of river-borne trade. A ferry plies throughout the year at Dumunichaki on the trunk road. The river is largely used as a trade route, and boats of 4 tons burthen can proceed as far as Sonarikhal throughout the year, and to Malmuragaon in the rainy season. It has a total length of about ioo miles. Barnagar (Nolai).-Town in the Ujjain district of Gwalior State, Central India, situated in 23° 4′ N. and 75° 23′ E., on the west bank of the Chamla, a tributary of the Chambal river, and on the Khandwa- Ajmer branch of the Rajputana-Malwa Railway. Population (I90o), I0,856. The town grew rapidly between i88i and I89I, owing to the opening of the railway, and in spite of the famine of I899-900o is still increasing. It belonged formerly to the Bahram Loth family of Raj- puts, who still hold a rent-free village in the neighbourhood; but in the eighteenth century it fell to Sindhia. Barnagar is managed by a muni- cipality, constituted in I90o, which controls the lighting and sanitation, having an income of about Rs. 1,200 a year, chiefly derived from local taxes. A considerable trade in grain and opium has arisen since the opening of the railway. A State post office, a dispensary, a school, and a resthouse are situated in the town. Close to the railway station there is a British combined post and telegraph office. Barnagar.-Ancient site in Gwalior State, Central India See BARO.
