NOTES.
1. Population according to Census, 1891, 92,647.
2. Area of District in acres, 6544.
3. For statistical purposes the Registrar-General estimates the population
to the middle of each year, taking as a basis the rate of increase ruling
between the Census periods. The estimation of population here is calculated
from the known number of inhabited houses at the middle of the year, and the
average number of inmates per house, which is estimated 5.9.
