is merely a slight difference in the accent and it is perfectly un- 

 derstood by the Tagalogs of the other provinces. 



Table I gives the different ethnographic groups arranged al- 

 phabetically. Other tables are given classifying the inhabitants 

 according to religious belief and economic and social progress, 

 and there is also a list of the different languages and dialects 

 spoken in the Philippines. 



Tables IX and X are of special local interest. Table IX gives 

 the population of the 12 senatorial districts, and Table X, the 

 population corresponding to each representative in the different 

 provinces. The suggestion of the author of redistricting the 

 Islands deserves careful consideration. 



Part II gives the location, the number, customs, industry, etc., 

 of the different ethnographic groups arranged alphabetically. 

 This arrangement makes reference easy. 



In view of the settled conditions now prevailing in those por- 

 tions of the Philippines inhabited by the non-Christian popula- 

 tion, I believe that the author's estimate of them is more accurate 

 than those given in the census of 1903.
