N.B.-The figures given in this table are compiled direct from the Provincial Census Reports. It will be observed that in regard to the Christian
population, some of the figures differ from those given in previous tables from the Imperial Census Report. The difference probably arises from the
unspecified' columns being in some cases included as Europeans' in the Provincial Census Reports. The total of Christians agrees with the special
returns of Christians within British India compiled for chapter ix. of this volume.
