These three groups yield altogether, a population of 

 16,785,000. (See above, p. 127 and 142.) 



The surface of Indostan, and its political divisions, have 

 been calculated with the greatest care by M. Mathieu, and 

 myself, from a map bearing the title ; " New improved map 

 of India, 1822, by Allen, Kingsbury, and Parbury." We 

 found 109,190 square marine leagues, or 1,307,180 square 

 English miles, in assigning the following limits to the pe- 

 ninsula of India : the mouth of the Indus and its course as 

 far as 35° 20' of lat. at the N. W. of Cashemere ; the chain 

 of the Himalaya nearest the lake Manasorovar, to the river 

 Tistah ; the Borampouter at 90° of longitude j the sea of 

 Bengal, south of the isle of Mascal, and east of the river 

 Sankar. I am surprised that Mr. Hamilton marks for the 

 whole peninsula 1,020,000 square English miles, or 85,120 

 square marine leagues, an estimation one fifth too little. The 

 statements of Playfair, which I have followed in my work 

 on Mexico, and of MM. Balbi, Tempelman, and Hassel, 

 (162,827 square leagues, 25 to a degree ; 62,500 square 

 geographical leagues ; 69,750 square geographical leagues ; 

 73,460 square geographical leagues), approach nearly the 

 result on which I have fixed. 



The following are my partial statements according to 

 Alien's map : 1st. English territory, the Presidencies, 49,224 

 square marine leagues j 2nd. the country in the dependancies 

 of the Company (tributary, subsidiary, and protected states)

 Buddelkund, 1,229$ Bopaul, 494 ; Sitarra, 1,185; Traven- 

 core, 658; Sindia, 2,398 ; altogether 40,900 square leagues. 

 3rd. Independent states : Lahore and Seizo, 10,935. Sinde, 

 3,643 5 Nepal, 4,335 ; Goa, Pondicherry, Chandernagor,
