The totals for population in column 3 include 43,716 under Rdjputana, 2,543,952 for Kashmir, and 2,992 for Shan States (outposts only), not enu- merated in 1881, Excluding the population of tracts not enumerated in 1881, the net addition to the population of Native States comes to 8,426,830. Similarly, the net addition to the total population of all India comes to 27,721,339. Besides the population shown in the above tables, as enumerated in 1891, other tracts were roughly enumerated by means of family or tribal registration. Other tracts, again, were duly enumerated, but the detailed returns were lost during frontier disturbances. The rough totals which have been preserved are as follows : — British Tracts.
