An analysis of the population calculated from the number of fami- 

 lies was found as follows :

The result of this table shows that the working classes are the great 

 bulk of the community, and of this section of society, the Koonbees 

 alone represent two-thirds of it : in like manner amongst the low 

 castes, the Dhairs exceed half the gross amount, whilst the Mangs rise 

 nearly to a fourth. 



The proportion of individuals to each family is about 3, the num- 

 ber of families being estimated at 10,951, and the number of indivi- 

 duals to each house, is slightly in excess of 5. 



By a reference to the general statement it will be observed that 

 the proportion between the sexes, shows a disparity in the number of 

 males to females in every hundred, as 52-60 of the former to 47*40 

 of the latter. 



Mahomedans are computed at a seventh of the population, which 

 is an increase upon what was exhibited in the Doulutabad Sircar, and 

 we observe here also, a large number applying themselves to indus- 

 trial occupations, both in the fields and at handicrafts. 



The Brahmins are rather numerous, nearly doubling the propor- 

 tion noticed in the Doulutabad Sircar ; they are principally to be found 

 at the city of Pytun. 



The Rajpoots appear in the same proportions as in the Doulutabad 

 Sircar; they are descendants of the mercenaries of the imperial armies
