CAULABAGH, a town of Hindustan, in the British province of the Punjab, situate on the right or west bank of the Indus, where it finds a passage through the salt range which stretches from Afghanistan into the Punjab. It is a singularly built place, the houses being situated on terraces cut out of the declivity of the hill. In the vicinity of the town are large rocks, which yield an inexhaustible store of the pure rock salt; and there is, besides, a considerable manufacture of alum. In both of these articles an extensive trade is carried on with the neighbouring provinces, which proves highly beneficial to the inhabitants. The river Indus, which here flows in one channel, is navigable from the sea; and the facilities of communication which have been established by means of government steam vessels between Kurrachee and Mooltan are about to be extended to this town. The proper name of the town is Khara Bagh, or Garden of Salt. E. Long. 71.30., N. Lat. 32.57.

CAULIFLOWER, a variety of cabbage. See Horritculture.
