1814.] Distribution of the Inhabitants of Rjisii-a. 447 



The result of these data respecting the Finnish nations is as 

 follows : — 



Finns 1,077,773 



Ischores 460,000 



Esthes 389,4q8 



Tschuwasches, Morduanes, and Tscheremisses. 511,651 



Permaeques, Wugules, and Wotjaeques 1,028 



Syrjaenes 3,000 



Laplanders 4,800 



2,4y2,77<> 



We may estimate the whole Finnish people therefore at two mil- 

 lions and a half. 



III. Tartars. 



a. Tartars of Kasan. — The statements of the population of this 

 government in 1802 make it 47,S01 males ; a number approaching 

 to that of Georgi (t. iii. p. 363,) obtained from the third revision, of 

 1/63: namely 48,712 males. We may estimate the total at 95,602. 



b. Tartars of Astrachan. — From the statements of 1802 the 

 nomades Tartars amounted to 6,703 families, or about 26,812 indi- 

 viduals ; the Tartars dwelling in fixed habitations, 9,508 males; 

 making a sum total of 45,828 individuals. 



c. Tartars of the Crimea and Ecatherinoslaw. — According to 

 Pallas (Voyage dans les Provinces Meridionales de la Russie, t. ii. 

 p. 347,) they amount to 1 20,000 males. The"statements respecting 

 the Tartar population of this government are very imperfect. The 

 Tartars have long been in the habit of withdrawing themselves from 

 the revision. On that account the estimate of Pallas is the most 

 probable. 



d. The Tartars of Perme, according to Mr. Bakarewitsch, in his 

 work, entitled. Statistical Descripfion of Siberia drawn up from 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. 



e. Tartars of Caucasus. — The returns of 1S02 mark only those 

 of Tarkow, to the number of 1200 families. 



From these data there arc, 



Tartars of Kasan 95,602 



Astrachan 45,828 



Crimea and Ecatherinoslaw 240,000 



Siberia 62,898 



Caucasus 4,800 



Total 4-19,128 



But as all the statements of the population of these people shovr 

 that the number of females is inferior to that of males, it may be 

 necessary to strike off about 30,000 on this account. Tlicir number
