2 greatly crowded. The other capital, Jummoo, contains only some
3 25,000 persons. The Maharajah’s revenues of all kinds would
4 probably amount to eighty lakhs of Rupees per annum, or four-
5 fifths of a million pound sterling. The above statistics*are of course
6 ‘nothing more than estimates. It is however to be remembered, that
7 a first-rate scientific survey of the Maharajah’s Dominions is now pro-
8 gressing in the Great Trigonometrical Survey Department, This valua-

29 It is seen thus, that the Political Dependencies of the Punjab contain
30 an area of one hundred and two thousand square miles, and a popula-_
31 tion of six and three-quarter millions of souls, and yield an annual
32 revenue of one hundred and forty lakhs of Rupees, or nearly one and a
33 half million pound sterling. From the physical character of the country,
34 the area (which to a great extent is geographical rather than superficia))
35 appears vast, and the population is consequently very sparse. But the
36 relative proportions of revenue and population are fair, atd will bear
37 comparison with similar proportions in the British Territory.

39 British Possessions in the Punjab, as given in the preceding para, 10, as
