The population, inclusive of Sholapoor and Cheekoree and 
Munowlee, of the Company’s possessions in Dukhun, but ex- 
clusive of alienated villages, is 2,105,886 souls, and the gross 
revenue 84,435,245 rupees; equal, therefore, to 4 rupees, O qr. 
02 reas per head. 
In forming the above table, the collectors were good enough 
to supply the number of villages and cultivators in 1827—28, 
and the amount of the land revenue was obtained from the 
Accountant-General’s office. In striking the average revenue 
per village, I have omitted, in the division of the Dharwar col- 
lectorate, 175 villages, (subsequently reduced to 155,) which 
I found by the population returns lately completed were un- 
inhabited, but parts of whose lands were under cultivation by 
neighbouring villagers, and therefore included by the collector 
in his list. In Khandesh 330 villages have been struck out 
under similar circumstances. In Poona and Ahmednuggur, 
villages of this class are very limited in number, and I have, 
_ in consequence, not made any deduction on their account. 
To give a fair average of the village revenues in the Poona 
collectorate, 151,241 rupees, including a share of the customs, 
have been deducted from the whole revenue for the city of 
Poona previously to striking the average. The manner in 
which the Poona capitation tax is struck is as follows :— 
1108 towns and villages sent in population returns, containing 
331,615 inhabitants, averaging 226 souls and a fraction to 
avillage. The population of the city of Poona (81,315 inhabit- 
ants) being deducted before striking the average ; of these vil- 
lages 2123 are alienated, leaving 8954 British.villages with a 
population of 283,567, including Poona. These in 1827—28, 
yielded a gross revenue of 1,261,711, averaging 4 rupees, 1 qr. 
78 reas to each person. 
The capitation rate in the Ahmednuggur collectorate is ob- 
be tained as follows: In 1827—28, 18773 towns and villages
