Beyapoor Total STATIONS. Note. From the foregoing official returns, dated Calcutta 1824 (the latest at the India House), it will be seen that in the Lower Provinces of Bengal there are 157,381 villages, and 7,447,653 houses. The population census has been formed by calculating five inmates to every house (a fair average in India), which gives 37,238,265 mouths. This is the nearest approximation to correctness of the population of a vast section of the empire. 4986 2225 141 2782 5148 133 7497 4016 11513 7529 2743 10272 15026 6759 Darwar 7128 1601 598 5291 205 1216 1971 346 Patchapoor Dummull Bankapoor Andoor Nar Hoabley Raumbidnorr Guttull Kode Kangenella 10128 1313 2455 6446 9490 181 10354) 6036 16390 10252 4634 5136 112 7623 4416 12039 7495 3125 5593 186 8370 4120 12490 8347 3321 8147 212 12241 6990 19231 12902 4926 12518 170 18738 10242 28980 180504 7553 12262 80 17761 9614 27375 17440 7293 6362 106 10144) 5138 15282| 9651 3691 10214 191 16138 10132 26270, 16114 6766 8379 206 13363 6922 20285 13148 5340 6250 51 9137 5718 14855 9221 4169 6176 55 8550 5322 13872 8508 3612 4289 43 5985 3694 9676 5800 2747 7039 376 12203 7017 19220 12382 4850 5187 13412) 8022 3650 5539 13644 8187 3759 4975 13244 7690 3402 5050 12702 7509 3461 123082 73570 5946 48075 129591 2349190355 110128 300483 188701 78842 267543 379056 188970 Total of the above 2 col. 148752 92916 601554880 153811 3002 226439 131865 358304/225704| 95185 320889153143 227050 Estimated number of Pindaries in the Dooab, according to their own account, Houses, 300; Population, 5,000. 15700 13384 16375 246 23187 13734 36921 23096 10747 33843 46283 24181 9845 407 12897 8003 20900 13907 5596 19503 26804| 13599 26220 653 36084 21737, 57821 37003 16343 53346 73087 38080 Girls. Full Grown. Note. The foregoing return is signed “John Romer, Magistrate;” I give it, as I do several others of population in this Appendix, for the purpose of stimulating further inquiries into the important subject of the population of British India. I am aware of the difficulties in the way of obtaining correct censuses, owing to the jealousy of the natives; but this difficulty may be got over by prudence and kindness. We possess no correct census of any District in British India except those given in this volume, and several of these are not to be relied on. I am strongly of opinion that in many parts there is a decreasing population; and that although several districts in Bengal are densely peopled, the greater part of our territory is but thinly inhabited.
