I suppress here and in the other official tables of cultures, some 
observations as well as different indications purely administrative, 
and I take from the comparative results, the following details. 
1st. That the number of individuals who* are voluntarily employ¬ 
ed in the works has increased by 152,665; the number of the fami¬ 
lies or tjatjak, by 8,833, and that the number of men destined to 
the forced work has increased by 1,979 individuals ; while the num¬ 
ber of the families who employ themselves in agriculture has decreas¬ 
ed 4333. This last number bad presented a too great increase from 
1839 to 1849. 
2ndly. That in general in 1841 a space of 70,007 balms more 
were drained than in the year 1840. That the population cultivated 
on their own account 95,077 more, and the Government reserved for
