Table XCII. Classification of Native States, with which the British 

 Indian Government is in alliance at the present time : with the 

 approximate area of their territories, ascertained by dissecting and 

 weighing a map. (See Journal of the Asiatic Society for 1833, page 

 489.J 



The area of the native states in alliance with the British Govern- 

 ment was found to be, 449,845 



That of the territory under British rule with the remaining small 

 states and jagirdars, 626,746 



Superficial area of all India,. 1,076,591 



The extent of coast from Cape Negrais to the frontiers of Sinde is 3622 British 

 miles ; the breadth from Surat to Silhet, 1260 miles. 



[Hamilton says, that the superficial area of Hindustan between the latitudes of 

 8° and 35° north, and the longitudes of 68° and 92° east, cannot be estimated at 

 more than 1,280,000 English square miles, and the portion belonging to the British 

 and their allies at 1,103,000 ; this estimate agrees very nearly with the above result 

 of weighment.] 



Captain Sutherland classifies the native states of India under the three follow- 

 ing heads : 



I. — Foreign, viz. Persia, Kabul, Senna, the Arab tribes, Siam, Acheen. 



II. — External, on the frontier ; viz. Ava, Nepal, Lahore, Sinde. 



III. — Internal, which are those included in the present list. All of these have 

 relinquished political relations with one another and with all other states. They 

 are, according to the nature of their relations or treaties with the English, divided 

 into six classes. 



First Class. Treaties offensive and defensive : right on their part to clai?n pro- 

 tection, external and internal, from the British Government : right on its part to in- 

 terfere in their internal affairs. 



Square miles. Square miles.
