Mgr. Ballsieper became the first Bishop of Dacca.! On his 
death in April 1890, the aged Mer. Augustin Louage C.S.C. 
was made Bishop (in 1891), and when he, in turn, died in June 
1894, he was succeeded by the Rt. Rev. Father F. 3. Hurth. 
In 1898 Sister Catechists of the Order of Mary Immaculate, 
Paris, arrived in Dacca to take the place of the Sisters of the 
Holy Cross who had withdrawn the previous year. Bishop 
Hurth continued his work until 1909, when he resigned ow ing 
to ill-health, and the Rev. Father F. F. Linneborn, C.S.C., 
coals i — Bishop of Dacca. Bishop Linneborn died 
in Jul and was succeeded by the present (fifth) Bishop, 
the Ree. Dr. Joseph Legrand, C.8.C. 
one allusion to Nuns of the Sacred Heart of Jesus 
at Chittagong in the Indo-European Correspondence for Dec. 29th, 
1886, I have been unable to bpd the reference by Dr. Wise to 
Nuns of this Order carrying on work in Eastern Bengal. 
the present time (1921) the nuns both in Dacca and Chittagong 
belong to the Order of Our Lady of the Missions. They suc- 
ceeded the Sisters of Mary Immaculate in 1912 
As regards the present number of Indian Catholics in the 
Dacca District the subjoined table gives the latest figures 
recorded by the missionaries themselves. The Portuguese 
Mission figures are quoted from the Catholic Directory of 1914; 
while those under the Dacca Mission give the result of a Mission 
Census in 1911.

column of the table on p. 38, and 1913. The Dacca Mission is
