governments. The only difficulty here was the presence of British troops in 
Cairo and Alexandria, which placed that nationality in an anomalous position. 
These were estimated approximately and subtracted. The following groups of 
foreigners were then dealt with : (a) Ottomans, (b) British subjects, French, 
Austrians, Germans and Russians*, (c) Greeks, (d) Italians. The Greeks and 
Italians were separated from the general European group (b), because they 
are largely differentiated, the Greeks being frequently small traders and the 
Italians often manual workeis. Their large numbers also justified a separate 
classification. 
Table I gives the foreigners per 10,000 in the 17 Egyptian districts we 
were able to deal with. It will be noted that the Greeks far outnumber other

foreigners, but that all foreigners are concentrated in the Cairo, Alexandria and 
Canal governments. 
It was far more difficult to obtain a measure of urban conditions. We had 
to take very rough measures of the density of the population, because the limits 
of certain areas are too vaguely defined to be of any service. El Arish has been 
excluded from the Canal district, Suez and Sinai have also been excluded as there 
is no enumeration of them with respect to criminality, literacy and scholarship. 
These densities, with such value as they have, are given in the last column of 
Table I. 
* The contributions from other smaller nationalities were omitted. 
t Various approximations and omissions occur in these cases in obtaining density.
