296 SEVENTH REPORT—1837. 
From the preceding table it will be seen that in the several ~ 
collectorates, although of very disproportionate superficial 
extent and population, in Ahmednuggur, Poona, and Khan- 
desh there is a close approximation in the total amount of their 
revenues, although with some difference in the value of their 
great branches. 
The following table exhibits the proportion per cent. of the 
great branches of the above revenue.

There is considerable uniformity in the respective propor- 
tions of the land revenue in the different collectorates. Poona 
has the smallest, but it is compensated for in the magnitude of 
the Sahyer and customs. In Ahmednuggur the proportion 
of the land revenue exceeds that of Poona by 13 per cent, but 
this is counterbalanced by the singular smallness of the Sa- 
hyer branch. In the land revenue of Dharwar and Khandesh 
there is a sufficient approximation to a mean per centage for 
the four collectorates, which averages 82°30 decls. per cent. 
The whole revenue of England being £52,000,000, has only a 
land revenue of £2,000,000, or 3°846 decls. per cent. The 
whole revenue of France being £40,000,000, the land revenue 
is 12,000,000 or 30 per cent. 
The following table shows (in 1827—28) the amount of the 
land revenue in each collectorate, the number of cultivators, 
the average rent of farms, the number of British populated 
villages, and the average revenue of a village: the last column 
is intended to show the pressure (including land Sahyer and 
customs) of the assessments and taxes, viewed as a capitation 
tax.
