Population of the City and District of Allahabad. [May, 



IX. — Population of the City and District of Allahabad, in 1831-32. 



To the Editor of the Journal of the Asiatic Society. 

 Sir, 



The inclosed census of the town of Allahabad may be considered 

 more accurate than that published in a former number of the Asiatic 

 Society's Journal. Kyd-gunj adjoins the town, and should be considered 

 a portion if it. Dara-gunj, situated on the banks of the Ganges, may 

 be held as a suburb. The census of the whole district or zillah of Al- 

 lahabad, is a mere approximation to the truth ; it has not in consequence 

 been deemednecessary to detail the population of each pergunnah. Some 

 of the returns, from which the total was obtained, were drawn out several 

 years ago by the police officers, other were drawn up by revenue offi- 

 cers. The revenue (land, abkaree, and stamps) drawn from the district 

 amounts to about 20,90,000 Rs. whence the payments of each person will 

 be nearly 2.68 rupees yearly. 



Your's obediently, 



D. S.
