NOTE 1: The »Kalakot« (Black Castle) of GANHAR (s.a., circa 1973) is not identified, unless it corresponds to the »Kankot« marked near N33°46'20”: E74°08' (nima.mil/geonames accessed 16.11.2003) on AMS sheet NI43-10 Punch (U502 Series, 1960 edition) at a spot 46 km in a direct line NNE of Rajaori / Rajauri. R.L. SINGH (1995: 363) lists one Kalakot (not identified) among important limestone occurrences »in Jammu.« NOTE 2: »Rajouri« (GANHAR s.a., circa 1973: 26) appears to correspond to the Rajaori marked near N33°23': E74°18' (nima.mil/geonames accessed 16.11.2003) on AMS sheet Punch (NI43-10, U502 Series, 1960 edition).
