CENSUS OF BENGAL, 1872. I.-Area and Population of the several PROVINCES of Bengal. NOTE. The areas in these tables include 17,399 square miles of wild and sparsely inhabited country, of which no census was taken. Of this area 8,343 square miles represent the wild portion of Luckimpore, 5,341 the Soonderbuns, or the almost uninhabitable jungles and marshes at the mouth of the Delta, and 3,715 the Cachar Hills. The figures of the second column of this table consequently differ slightly from the area tables given in the district tables following. The areas of large rivers have been excluded throughout the tables. II.-Abstract of the Area and Population of each DISTRICT in Bengal arranged according to PROVINCES and Commissioners' DIVISIONS. |
