being the most numerous and the last least, but the figures 

 for Indians are not very accurate, partly because many of 

 those in the area under consideration are in the pine hills 

 portion of Clarke and Monroe Counties, which were used 

 in the statistics to represent another region. Again, the 

 number of Indians returned at successive censuses varies so 

 much as to suggest that a good many of them are sometimes 

 counted as whites. (These irregularities are brought out 

 by Table 26, which shows the number of Indians reported 

 from each county in the area treated at each census from 

 1860 to 1910. Where the Indian population of a given 

 county is not returned separately, but combined with "all 

 other counties," question marks are used.)
