^50 ANNUAL REGISTER, 1814. 



Pallas (Voyage dans les Provinces 

 Meridionales de la Russie, t. ii. p. 

 347), they amount to 120,000 

 males. The statements respecting 

 the Tartar population of this go- 

 vernment are very imperfect. The 

 Tartars have long been in the 

 habit of withdrawing themselves 

 from the revision. On that ac- 

 count the estimate of Pallas is the 

 most probable. 



The Tartars of Perme, accord- 

 ing to Mr. Bakarewitsch, in his 

 work, entitled Statistical Descrip- 

 tion of Siberia, drawn up frora the 

 Reports made to the Minister of 

 the Interior, published in 1810, 

 amount to 5,629 males, and the 

 Tartars of Tobolsk to 25,820; 

 making together 31,440 males. 



Tartars of Caucasus. — The re- 

 turns of 1802 niark only thobe of 

 Tarkow, to the number of 1,200 

 families. 



From these data there are, 

 Tartars of Kasau 95,602 



Astrachan 45,828 



Crimea and Ecather- 



inoslaw 240,000 



Siberia * 62,898 



Caucasus 4,800 



Total 449,128 



But as all the statements of the 

 population of these people show 

 that the number of females is in- 

 ferior to that of males, it may be 

 necessary to strike off about 30,000 

 on this account. Their number 

 will then be conformable to the 

 statement of Mr. Storch, who, 

 estimating the Russian Tartars at 

 200,000, and those united to 

 Russia by the treaties of peace of 

 1774, 1783, and 1791, at 214, 318, 

 makes the sum total amount to 

 414,318 individuals. 



The Baschkines, the Metsche- 

 raeques, the Boucharzi, the Tasch- 

 kinzi, the Jakoutes, and the Kir- 

 gises, are likewise of the Tartar 

 race. 



According to the statements of 

 1802 and 1803 there were 



Baschkines and Metscheraeques, in the govern- 

 ment of Perm 13,508 males 



Boucharzi and Taschkinzi, in the governments 



of Tobolsk and Tomsk 2,895 



Jakoutes of Tobolsk 258 



Jakoutes of Irkoutch 50,676 



67,337 



or 134,674 individuals; so that 

 the sum total of Tartars is 583,802. 

 But we must strike off 30 or 

 40,000 on account of the defici- 

 ency of women. This will reduce 

 the number to 550,000.
