THE POPULATION OF THE INDIAN ARCHIPKLA&O. 384 
It will be easier to compute the third division of our task, 
which includes the island of Java with the small islands 
round it, besides Bali, Lombok, Sumbawa &c. 
The population of these islands may with a great degree 
of certainty be set down as follows ; 
Java and tbs smalt islands around 1 9,560,380 in 1845* 
Increase in three years and a half 2 500,300

1 This is the census of 1845 as given the Moniteur des Tndes, Vol. II p. 31. 
[See Dr. BleekePs estimate and remarks vol, I ol this Journal p, p. 75, 76. 
— Ed 1 
2 This increase is calculated from Moniteur des Indes Vol. II p. 28. 
3 Temminck Vol. 1 p. 340 gives the number at 800,000 Mons Van Den 
Broek in 1818, reckoned the population of this island at 987,500, which is 
reduced in the Moniteur des Indes to 738,000, by reckoning 4 persons to 
give 1 fighting man, which is evidently a very low estimate. Allowing for a 
small increase we have taken the medium of these authorities.

is extracted is certainly not exaggerated.
