Average number of inhabitants to a village for all the col- 
lectorates, 270°34. 
The above population does not include the army, camp 
followers, Bheels, or the wandering tribes. 
It would appear there are 1279 uninhabited villages in the 
four collectorates of Dukhun, principally in Khandesh; making 
a total of 10,814 towns and villages in the British possessions, 
and of 13,434 in the late Peshwah’s territories in Dukhun; 
exclusive of those belonging to the Kolapoor state. 
Total alienated villages in the four collectorates, 1695}. 
Total British populated villages, 78394 ; total deserted, 1279. 
Total villages in the four collectorates, 10,814. 
Education. 
Education, as a regular system, is certainly unknown amongst 
the people in Dukhun. The few schools existing are wholly 
disproportioned in number to the population ; and even were 
they more numerous, the present general poverty of the Koon- 
bees,§ and the imperious calls upon them for the services of 
their children in agriculture, and in attending their cattle, 
* Exclusive of the population of the city of Poona. 
+ Exclusive of the population of the city of Ahmednuggur. 
+ Of this number, 1279 are depopulated, and the depopulated villages of 
the Southern Jagheerdars and Rajah of Sattarah’s territories are not known 
to me.
